Elim frowned and furrowed his brow slightly. This was proving to be quite the conundrum and, for the first time since entering the fort, his brain was truly put to work. He had to think quickly of something to say, and something that would give him some answers. "Look, Pur- Patricia. How old are you?"

"I'm seven... I'm just tall for my age... Why?"
Perplexed as to Elim's reason for asking the question, she answered it politely, and waited for a reply.

Elim chuckled dryly at this statement of Patricia's. She knew far less about herself than he'd anticipated, obviously due to some sort of memory loss. This he voiced with honesty, for once. "No, you're not seven. Your memory restarted at seven, but you're actually 26. And it seems you lost your memory at 19, coincidentally right after things fell apart for you."

"I don't know what you mean..."
Elim's words were definatly confusing her... She couldn't remember her past, which was why she thought she was seven, but at night, she had terrible dreams... Of her leading a steadily growing horde... Or her killing innocents... And other horrible things besides. They kept her awake at night, until she managed to cry herself to sleep.

"What are you talking about? How can you not understand this, Pu... Patricia?" He didn't like having to keep correcting himself. This new name of hers was beginning to bother the wolf. It didn't even sound nice. "You're not just tall for your age. Beasts at age seven are half your height and nowhere near as physically developed. You're 26... And you seem to have lost your memory, which is a pity."

"I don't understand because I don't know... I can't remember... I don't know anything from before seven years ago..."
By this point, the vixen was close to tears, there was just too much for her to understand off the bat... She couldn't believe it was true, but "mister wolf" was saying it was, and she trusted him... Which must make it true...
"If this is true... What did I look like? What did I do? I have terrible nightmares every night where I do terrible things to other beasts..."

"What you looked like? Kinda like you now, with more purple clothing. And armor. And you had some of your fur dyed, I don't really remember the pattern." Elim shrugged idly. "And... Younger, I guess. As for what you did, aside from mass murder, capture, detainment, torture and the like, typical fox things. You spent a lot of time in some stronghold or other." He hadn't a world of information himself. What little the wolf had had to endure seven years of not thinking about it.

Another piece clicked into place, hair colour and patter... Not to mention clothing and extras on top of that... With her expression going blank as she remembered it...
"Purple streak, top left, by the ear, down to lower right, level with the base of the tail. Purple dress, with a steel chestplate over that."
Then, her expression changed to confusion again...
"Where did that come from? I don't know how I know that... Or that I knew it..."

"But that's your appearance as it was 7 years ago," Elim intervened. Something told him that this meeting might bring Patricia's past back to her, for better or for worse. Of course, it wasn't her appearance that he had to worry about. "Of course, not nearly as different as your personality 7 years ago. What... Happened with you?"

"I... Don't know... I can't remember at all... I remember waking up in teacher's cave, but everything before that is a blank... There's nothing there..."
Less confused, and more scared, Pat was close to tears again... She was totally scared of what she might find out if she learned the truth.
"I'm scared mister wolf... I'm scared of what I might find out... Of what I might become... What should I do?"

"OK, well, first of all, my name is Elim." Without disclosing his last name, he hoped to prevent her from getting any more memories. They didn't seem to be faring that well for her, and he found himself to be a bit caring, considering. "As for what you should do, well... Stop prying. Unless who you want to turn into who you were, cease and desist. Because who you were is dead."

"Elim... Tylint?"
Not sure where the name came from, she blinked a few times as the wolf continued.
"Dead?"
That seemed to make something inside her snap... The world around her suddenly became her camp, burning... Covered in blood, she stared wildly around herself before screaming her rage to the heavens... At which point there was a sudden bolt of pain, and the flashback faded out as the younger her fell unconcious... The present her, however, had backe dherself into a corner, sat down, and started crying. In between the sobs, some coherrent mutterings could be heard...
"Dead... They're all dead... Everyone's dead... It's all burning... Fire in the night sky... A scream of rage...Then... Nothing... It's all over... Nothing left but ash and dust in the wind..."

"Yeah, Tyli-" Elim was cut off by Patricia moving past him to the corner, where she was sobbing incoherently to herself. Unsure how to react, he stood and watched uncomfortably. From this angle, he could quite easily see the former tyrant in her and the changes he was witnessing were disconcerting, to say the least. "Er... Patricia? Are you all right?"

When she looked up at him, it wasn't a sad expression on her face... It was totally blank... Even her eyes seemed vacant, almost as if the lights were on, but no-one was home at all.
"Alright? I'm not alright... Everyone's dead... It's all black... Death... Blood... Bodies..."

OOC: Tabs?
BIC: "Aw... Good," Elim muttered sarcastically upon realizing that she was having yet another inroad into her past. If this kept happening, he might end up with a more original fox on his paws, and if that happened, his life might be in jeopardy. He wouldn't put it past her to make an attempt on his life; he was a Tylint.
