'He who kills for his own needs, must look at his victim's eyes- to see him die-- he chose to take other life for his own, so he owes at least that. He who kills for the greater goods must look at another pair of eyes- his own- and see there the justice of what he had done- or the sin.'- I had memorised this words at the age of 8, I never had a hard time when I killed an opponent in battle, looking into the man's eyes- I never had a problem looking at my own reflection in the mirror after commanding my armies to act, and yet- now- when I looked into the silver abyss, I felt like a murderer, I've never felt so guilty, even when I sinned with the one woman I never should have sinned with.
My best friend- brother really, I killed him. and now the woman me and Darienis travelled through a desert and waged war on an entire kingdom for, Hector's mother- is dying by my hand as well. I had to! I had to? Am I a monster?
I shook my hand, I couldn't let the guilt stop me, it had to be done. I sighed, and brushed my hands against my grey robe, then looked away from the mirror.
The round chamber had very narrow windows, one in each direction, and seeming door on the walls. the two walls were on the floor and ceiling.
I climbed up the ladder, and opened a door to the clear blue tower top, a breeze of wind tingling my cheek.
Climalsi haven't arrived yet- He was starting to call himself the fox- I need to talk to him about that, humility is a virtue, and he was one of my "children"- and I expected all of the youngsters I raised to be more than tools, they were to be great members of my righteous state- I had great hopes and expectations for them, and I expected them to be humble, good, moral men and women- be they're line of work what it will be.
If only someone would have raised hector properly... I thought sadly- none of us would have had to go through all these horrible things.
But they didn't- I still had hope for him though, he was young.
I'll do my best to make him prepared to inherit, to stay alive- but if I can't, I'll have to kill him.
and with that thought, I climbed down to welcome Climalsi...
