I Keep My Word

[Asarog 9]

*An old man begins calling to everybody's attention*

 

 "Attention! Attention, please! Thank you, everybody, for allowing me to speak to you. I have an important message to announce that we.. barely hear. Though others try and do what I am doing right now, they never go through with their choice and seldom lead the people. I am no leader, but I go through with my choices. I called you people over to me, an old man, to give you what we have all been lacking a dose of. Surely you've all heard of war, blood, peace, death. But think of the one good thing that come of war. Well one thing is that you may earn independence or land, but what does that really matter? I am here, right? I'm not dead, I'm healthy and I'm not fighting. Every single day I see another bandit steal or kill another innocent soul, and it breaks my heart. I was but a boy when I used to think of how this world would get any better and.. it only got worse.

 

 We are destroying each other each day. Yes, people are born each day, but imagine another good soul lost. A sister of ours, a brother, parents, or even a little child. More and more are lost each day and what do we do? Either kill more souls in war, or just leave it be. We need to find a way to stop this, but we can't stop darkness from following the light. Wherever we are, there must be light which projects a shadow. A shadow filled with darkness that tears apart our former selves and leaves us with a monster. So the next time you start a war, or kill a mere girl on the roads. Think to yourself, 'What if that was me?'. Thank you."

 

*The man walks away, and a tear rolling down his cheek is seen.*

Helrin lowers his head, letting out a sigh, "An old man's words will not change anyones mind about violence. This world is greedy and selfish. They'd see it burn, they'd kill a million of innocent lives to get what the want; mina. Fame. Power." He lets out a slight chuckle, "Sorta ironic, coming from me." He slowly shakes his head and turns around to walk away.

[3andD 1722]

A hooded individual listens in on the conversation, as the man finishes his speech he states the following, "War may be terrible and cause many deaths but in my time here I have found that it greatly helps humanity. Raising moral, uniting us, and bringing money and items into the economy. Men also gain prestige and distinguish themselves on the field of battle.

 

I can only say that these deaths are needed in the grand scheme of things, for humanity is stronger together than against."
