When the naga had me. I fought every night to get free.
There were nights, after I was "taught", that I just wanted to die. I would close my eyes and feel... what seemed like this massive creature... passing beside me.
I would open my eyes and I was alone.
The night I escaped, they tortured me so long I had no memory of not feeling pain. In the Darkness, I heard his voice. He was so very angry.
He told me to fight. He told me to not give up. He told me he was going to shred the vile naga.
In that moment, I snapped out of it. We are groing to shred the naga, not you alone!
I broke off a part of my fin and pulled out the bone. It wouldn't stop bleeding. I almost blacked out, but I held on.
It took so long to move the lock. I was sure it was going to snap at any moment and I didn't know if I could get another.
I heard a 'thok' sound and the door swung open! I was free! I just started running... but then I stopped and looked around.
There were so many of us. I had no idea. I broke every nearby prisoner free that night. Giants, makrura, kelfin, murloc... it didn't matter... we would be unshackled together.
Some left, to find others of our kind out in the ocean, where it was safe. Those of us that remained behind formed Newhome.
Here all are welcome. Here all are free. Here I can protect them.
This place will remain my home until every last slave to the naga has been freed.
Oh, and the voice I heard -- he was a shark! He said he came beacuse he was needed. He said he came to clear the darkness.
I think he came to help us.
He's very smart, that Gral, and we share a mind on how to deal with the naga.
Our little cave has become a haven for those we have rescured as well as those who have saved themselves.
We keep each other safe. We provide for each other.
If we weren't surrounded by terror, it would be perfect!
We are finding more whose minds have been broken by the naga. Some, whose minds are shackled, we can ease out of it, but we have not yet brought any of those broken back.
I am afraid they are lost to us. We have had to kill friends and family before we understood the madness within them.
We have come up with some rules to help us survive together. I am going to leave this out so others can add more.
Rule One: Don't get killed, get away to fight another day.
Rule Two: Don't waste what we find.
Rule Three: When the enemy is too strong to fight, take away what makes them strong.
Rule Four: Be prepared for anything.
Rule Five: You are always safe in Newhome.
< Some writing has been scribbled out here. >
Rule Seven: Nagas[sic] stink!
Rule Eight: Unagi is Poen's favorite!
Rule Nine: Stop adding Nonsense rules.
