A Rogue in Love
It's another dark October night and Connak lies awake again, this time in a foreign bed with his new lover. With the nightmare still haunting him, he can't clear his mind. The rogue can't help but to gaze at the Kathar laying beside him, studying his face and body. From the stillness of the air and the soft crackling of the torches that hang on the wall, a soft whisper can barely be audible. "Is this what love feels like?" Connak whispers to himself, trying to be careful to not way the man beside him. As the Manathar thinks to himself, his mind is flooded with a number of thoughts. Three relate to the man he's with, one about love, and two about his dead fiance: Alessa.

With the thoughts on the man laying with him, Connak quietly asks himself a number of questions. "Is he the one to ease my pain, to make me happy?", "How long will it be before something bad happens?", "If I asked him to become a Manathar, will he accept or will he get pissed at me?" With these thought he only knows a true answer to one, "Andre is my friend and my lover. When I bleed, I bleed for him."

The Rogues thoughts about his dead fiance are thoughts that no should ever have. "Will the nightmare that haunts me stop?". With no real answer to complete that thought, he can't assume that they will nor will they continue. His last thought on Alessa is a somber one. Connak knows that it has been twenty uears after her death, this last thought is this, "Alessa, I miss you but I will always love you.".

Connak's last thought is about love and goes as follows, "Have I found love?". The rogue takes a moment to think before he comes to the answer of yes. For twenty years, Connak has never felt love like this until now. A smile runs on his face, a sense of euphoric bliss is all the rogue feels as he knows that he's in love.

As Connak smiles, new questions rise. How will his friends approve of him being bisexual? Would his friends cast him out or will they accept him? What would they think of Andre? Lastly, when will the nightmare stop?

Only time will tell the answers to these questions that Connak has.
