So fragile, the hearts of heroes...

What gives a hero strength then?

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

To see all that is dark in the world, and still have faith in its beauty.

That's what makes heroes what they are, my lady: the courage, the fortitude to believe.

[neverontime.livejournal.com]

I wish I could believe that.

[littlest-witch.livejournal.com]

Fragile?

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

Spun glass and satin, my beloved little one. Beautiful, but so very delicate.

I suppose I'm brooding, I shouldn't be. *sighs and smiles* I'm sorry, sweet Tati. I don't mean to worry you.

[littlest-witch.livejournal.com]

Would you like to talk? I could make tea...

[avalonmaid.livejournal.com]

And yet they manage great feats when required to do so.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

Delicate hearts scar so very easily, my lady. But that is, in the end, what makes them strong.

*offers a polite bow*

You honor me, my fair one.

[avalonmaid.livejournal.com]

And yet a hero's heart can break and mend a thousand times. Yet he feels every pain as if it were new.. and rises from it.

She sighed but pulled herself away from the thought. She bowed her head politely when he bowed.

You flatter me with such a term, good sir.

Too fragile. Too easily broken.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

So, too, is a candle's light. Too strong a wind, and it blows out...but from that candle, an inferno can be born.

One simply must know how to handle them...and even then, it is not easy on one. Still, your mind is sharp, my child. I applaud your keen eye.

[notamaid.livejournal.com]

It's not my eyes that are keen, so much as the experience I've had with one such hero. Still, I thank you for the compliment.

[reportresurrect.livejournal.com]

That's what makes them heroes.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

*grins*

So wise for one so young, so hard for one so beautiful.

How came you to learn that lesson, child?

[reportresurrect.livejournal.com]

I know my share of heroes. I've watched them when they fall, when they break and when they get back up again.

[dktwistedsoul.livejournal.com]

Especially when you take them in your hand and squeeze.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

You reek of blackest evil, demon. Blood stains your hands beyond the telling of it.

Give me your name, that I might warn those in my care of your darkness.

[dktwistedsoul.livejournal.com]

...

HAHAHAHAHA!

[fever-crusade.livejournal.com]

Now that's the truth.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

I see knowledge in your eyes, my lady. You've known such a heart in your lifetime.

[fever-crusade.livejournal.com]

Wise man!

Yes, I certainly have. I know one still, very well.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

Every heart is fragile.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

Aye, but none are so vulnerable, my queen, as the hearts of those who would not hide from harm, but rather invite it into their homes to spare the world any manner of suffering.

[alainn-aislinn.livejournal.com]

They break into tiny pieces at the slightest touch of darkness, sometimes.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

And others, they shatter with their own wails of grief at the darkness in the world.

*peers* The light of the otherworld shines in you, my lady. I would be honored to know a name to match such beauty as I behold even now.
