Sully smiled through the tears in his eyes. "Yes, you can have it," he said. "I don't know if I can answer all of your questions, but I can try. What do you want to know?"

"What were our parents' names? Where are they barried? I want to know everything, even if I can't remember."

"Our father's name was Byron, and our mother's name was Adara," Sully said. "They both died of dragon pox. Mother died first, and our father hung on for another three days. They're buried in our family crypt in Highgate Cemetary, which isn't far from here. As you can see by the picture, they weren't young. In fact, they had both retired about a year before you disappeared. They had you fairly late in their lives. I'm nearly 10 years older than you. Father worked for the Ministry of Magic, in the Accidental Magic Reversal Department. Our mother was a healer at St. Mungo's."

Ashura looked at the photo and saw that they were indeed old. "Where did we live?" She asked after being silent as everything he said sank in.

"We were from Scotland," Sully replied. "You've long since lost your accent, I guess as a result of being alone in the woods so long, but it used to be as thick as mine."

Ashura bit her lower lip. "What about the house? What happened to it?" She would like to see where she had grown up.

"The house was sold after they died," Sully said. "As I said, I was in a hospital for more than a year. The house would have passed to me, but they had no money for the burial, so everything they owned had to be sold. I would have helped, if I had been able... but I was in no condition to help anyone." He sighed heavily. "I cannot imagine what you must think of me, to know I was so unstable that I went mad after Jessie's death. And truthfully, even after I got out, I still wasn't very stable. I haven't been until now."

"You must have loved her to have gone mad after her death, I guess my disappearance didn't help matters." Ashura said quietly. "And I don't really know enough about you to know what to think about you."

"I did love her, very much," Sully said. "Part of me still does. And yes, her death so soon after you disappeared... it made it all even harder to deal with. I hope someday I'll be able to come back and we can really get to know each other. Just promise me you'll be safe."

"I promise. What was I like before, when I was younger?" Ashura asked looking back at the photo.

Sully smiled sadly, remembering. "You weren't all that different from how you are now. You were shy and quiet. You loved to read and sit in the garden under the trees. You were never loud or silly, you were always very serious. But you always wanted to help, whenever you could. You used to help Mum with the cooking."

Ashura smiled as she looked at her mother in the photo, she closed her eyes and thought she smelled chocolate cake. She opened her eyes then looked at Sully. "Was the cake chocolate?"

Sully smiled fondly. "Yes, chocolate cake was your favorite. You loved to help her make chocolate cake. She'd let you lick the bowl when you were done. Do you remember?"

Sully gave her a hug. "That's good. Maybe that means you'll start remembering more and more. I hope you do. I can't imagine how confusing it must be to not remember your past."

"I hope it does, I would really like to remember, if I'm only able to remember some of it, when you get back will you tell me about the blanks?" Ashura asked.

"I will," Sully said. "In fact... while I'm away, I'll try to send you letters often. And I'll try to write down something that I remember from when you were a little girl, so that maybe you'll start to remember even more."

"I know," Sully said. "I wish I didn't have to go, either. But I don't have a choice. Gretchen could come after me at any time. I can't take that risk. And it's better for you if I go, because I don't want you in danger just for being near me. Just hope that I can come back soon."

Ashura nodded. "I understand, it'll just be hard for me to know I have a brother I can't see for a long time."
