She shook her head and said "Its not that easy when it comes to dante...you see, Dante must have told you he was taken by pirates. Truth is, he was taken from his home, from his bed that he shared with his wife and was dragged out in the middle of the night and thrown into the cell on the pirates boat...they were the Blood Lust Pirates if I remember right...he was held on their ship for six months. He was the best doctor on that side of the seas...and they took him because they wanted to take the village he lived in...they wanted their hope. We got the call...sailed out to the village to learn the crew took him....killed his wife and most of the other viilagers for trying to stop them. We took off after them but it took us six months after he was taken to catch up and get aboard...we dealt with the crew quickly and got below deck...it was much worse then we had been told. Dante was the only one still alive out of the six men they had taken that night...and they didn't take the bodies off ship. Dante was barely alive when I found him...the only way I found him was sensing his aura...we got him off the ship and burned the rest of ship into the sea...then took him back to the village. But he couldn't go back...the nightmares and terrors...so with the villages blessing I took him in." 

The whole room was silent while she told her tale, then she looked at Simon. "The drinking came soon after...not to drown the sorrow...but to forget the past. After a month of him not being sober I pulled him into my cabin and basically beat him till he was sober and told him I would help him get thru the grief and guilt...never touched a drop till now as far as I know"
