Tales Told by the Fireside
By the Gangrel of the british Isles and Eire
As recalled by Qualin Hess, Wilderness blood of the Cammarilla, Journeymann of Eire
Jen speaks in tribut of the late Rho-an.

Forgive me once more. I am not good at this sort of thing.

I first met Rho in the heat of battle, we were attacking Southampton for the second time and were regrouping when all of a sudden this raven comes streaking in and changes into a human. I guessed she was Gangrel, and thought maybe she was like me, changing into a raven and all, so I stepped in front of all the guns and asked her who she was. She said she was Rho-an of Clan Gangrel, that her sire was Jack Fletcher and she was seeking out me. You can imagine that kind of took me by surprise.. so I introduced her to the Prince, who acknowledged her on the spot -after some rather hasty tests. We fought side by side, not really knowing eachother then, but we felt a kinship. She infiltrated the black spiral dancer hole, she made her way through various Sabbat traps, we flew away from the exploding windmill.. we fought side by side and never once doubted the other.

She never really talked much about her past.... we never really got the chance to talk about it.... but from what I could gather, she was raised on a farm somewhere way out in the middle of nowhere. Took her a hundred years to find us, during which time she survived by herself..

The night before the ball.. she told me she was making peace with Jack Fletcher. Christian had managed to find him and we met with him, they ended their quarrel before she left this world. For that, Christian, I am eternally grateful.

She was the one that got the final blow in on the squid before it escaped.

I warned her about the coming trouble at the ball. She.. gave herself for her little sister, protected me as I tried to defend her. Me and Zak, we stood outside the door and howled her into the next world, you know the rest.

She left this fireside laughing. Before she died, she had made her peace.

I know, that she is in a better place now. She was a wild one, but you always knew she was speaking from the heart.. she wasn't the one that should have died... should have fought with her...

[Jen trails off and slumps to the ground, the colour drained from her face, and starts to weep openly]
