With each invasion, the Vir'abelasan fell further from our grasp. There came a point when our numbers had become so diminished that we could no longer properly defend our temple.
[He did not bother to mask the bitterness and despair that the tale brought up in him. Granted he wasn't the most expressive of individuals, but few things got a greater reaction from him than speaking of what was lost.]
The temple became a battlefield between two forces competing for the power the Vir'abelasan would grant. One was lead by the one with vallaslin similar to mine, the other by some... creature. I did not care personally, at first I sought merely to protect the well. The child, Lavellan, and I had an agreement that he would aide in defense of the temple and we would allow him and his army to leave once it was over.
Such is not how it played out. They made their way to the Vir'abelasan just as I did. I was not granted the opportunity to destroy it, as I had hoped. Instead I left the fate of it up to the child. I had little choice. We would not be able to protect the temple against further attacks, and if nothing else the boy has a righteousness to him.
So all the knowledge left of my people, the last great legacy of our people, fell into the hands of mortals, and he let a power-hungry human witch imbibe it. The well was lost to mortals who had no hope of comprehending it, and the purpose of my Sentinels and I lost with it.
