While Rumnim had laid bound in the infirmary poisoned and in control of someone unknown. Khyl'Dran had gone through her mind, digging deeply into things he found very disturbing and not at all surprising that this elf before him had forgotten. These were horrors that even the heartiest adventurer would have gone mad at experiencing.

It wasn't her imprisonment that disturbed him so much or the torture and pain he heard and experienced in her memories. Though they alone would have made him react to protect anyone from. No, there was something else he heard while trying to find out more about who was poisoning people and many more questions. He'd accidentally stumbled upon her memory of hearing two speak of a list of body parts that were needed. They were not making a golem as any others would know. No names were said. But the list sent chills down his back visibly.

Only Rumnim was in the room with him and she was so far lost in the memories that the world about her was lost to her. Khyl'Dram did not want to pursue this line too far right now as he had more pressing need to get all he could on the poisoning, but he had found out that the poisoner and whomever was talking about the list were not connected. But he had to get a few more questions asked. What were they going to do with the body parts and why was she sure she was going to be destroyed?

It chilled him to the bone to hear Rumnim meekly say, they were trying to create the perfect servator and that she had failed to be one because she had turned out to be too willful. That was why they were going to destroy her. Destroy her and recover the heart of a pixie from her.

After the cure was found Khyl'Dran vowed he would find out exactly who and what Rumnim had been involved in. How dare they use elven corpses in their twisted experiments. But who had the ability to create one such as Rumnim Keress? From what he could see, for a pieced together creature, they had not just given her life, but a soul as well. This made him feel uneasy.

A week later all had been cured. Khyl'Dran found Rumnim at Asur'Herenion. She claimed to have been summoned by Isilmea but had just missed her. Khyl'Dran questioned Rumnim about what she remembered. Oddly she assumed that if she had been pieced together from parts of elves that she would not be accepted by others.

Khyl'Dran offered to help her search for answers to her past. Rumnim seemed hesitate at the thought of this but when it was recommended to Khyl'Dran to look for a blue person in Malas whom deals in body parts illegally. Khyl'Dran took Rumnim there even though she told him that she becomes physically ill if she spends any time within Malas. It was too tainted.

Khyl'Dran quickly found a woman named Kara. Sara's sister, Rumnim had met her once. She was a tinker, tailor, smith and such. Well known to the elves, Kara let Khyl'Dran know of a bloodletter named, Luis that dealt in the black market of body parts. Though he would never admit it. Khyl'Dran tried to get Luis to give names and what had been sold about the time Rumnim had appeared. But to no luck. Kara however had a lot more luck. She was able to give Khyl'Dran a list of body parts and names of buyers from the previous sales person, whom had died a few months ago. For the same reasons Khyl'Dran wanted to kill Luis when he saw the list, a pixie heart was on the list.

But now Rumnim had lost all the color in her face and was looking empty eyed in horror at Khyl'Dran. The only thing she could say was, "It's true I'm a monster, a golem of flesh, not an elf at all."

Kara and Khyl'Dran quickly took her from Malas and to Kara's home. Where they let her lie down and rest. In less then an hour Rumnim's worst fears had come to be. She didn't have a heart or strength to write it down. No not yet.
