I will not protect a tyrant

I will not be a murderer.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

There is a distinction, young warlock, between sticking a sword in his heart and allowing him to die.

[lights-his-way.livejournal.com]

It's murder either way.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

And then this did not concern you when you burned the sorcerer Edward or destroyed the Sidhe, did it?

I suppose you left the men who harm the precious king breathing on the ground as well.

[lights-his-way.livejournal.com]

That was different. I had to protect Arthur. This... well, it's not the same.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

You destroyed Edward to protect UTHER! He meant no harm to the prince.

It seems that would kill those like you, those who share the magic in your veins, rather than lift a hand against a man who would have you slain as soon as blink.

Leans her head against his leg. You shouldn't have to.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

And therefore I will not aid the warlock in saving him. I do not even know how he could ask such a thing of me.

[spiralsofebony.livejournal.com]

Because human life is precious.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

It is a question of balance - I would happily see this man die if it meant that innocent magic users might live.

[spiralsofebony.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps it's time I take a hand in things after all. Very softly.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

My Lady Jaenelle, I would not have you lower yourself to such a base gesture.

Besides, I believe you have enough to concern yourself with.

How are you, my lady? We have not had chance to speak for some time.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't have to.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

And yet the warlock conscience prevents him from letting that man die.

Still, I know I had no part in it.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

...why?

There's no reason to let him live.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

I do not even know. Yet something stays his hand - his feelings for the prince, perhaps?

I am glad we are in accord, my friend.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

...the price shouldn't want him to live either.

It usually seems like we are.

[stevetheunicorn.livejournal.com]

Have things truly fallen so low?

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

Greetings, fair creature.

The state of magic is indeed shameful.

[stevetheunicorn.livejournal.com]

Greetings, great protector.

It seems humans wish to corrupt all things.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

He bows

They fear what they do not understand. And fear leads them to do such terrible things.

[stevetheunicorn.livejournal.com]

He dips his head in a similar gesture.

And they crave the things that leave them lessened. Destroying themselves.

[redheadduelist.livejournal.com]

A tyrant does not deserve such protection.

[destiny-keeper.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And yet my young warlock would have me aid him - the very young are so naive.

[redheadduelist.livejournal.com]

It takes time to learn the ways of the world. Even those who are no longer young still do not know. But there is still time for him.
