Shouting About Suffering and Blood

[Supremacy 3361]

From within his cell, to those who managed to find their way into the gatehouse, Taeleh would continue to preach.

"And so I stand here shackled. Not for reason of crime or criminal act. Not as a convicted elf who has committed a crime, but one accused of... "inciting violent rebellion". When citing the reason why I was so accused of such a crime, the Medi'ir, in his infinite wisdom cited that which I have exclaimed many a time before. I believe he said, precisely, "You shout about suffering and blood". I will not deny this... I do shout such. Though perhaps, if the Medi'ir were less inclined to spend his time intimidating citizens and instead studied our culture what this is might be more clear".

 

"ay'Larihei'leh sirame k' taliihye, ay'elcihi k' cruare."

 

Taeleh lets out a quiet laugh.

"Perhaps, mali'aheral, you have heard this before. Particularly those who dare call themselves Sillumir— Blades Who Weep— ought know this. Though, they have not done much weeping as of late. This phrase? Lifted from their sacred oath taken at initiation of their duties

"For Larihei's honour I bleed, for the City I suffer"

 

"Perhaps this will convince the unconvinced of that which the council perpetrates. The corruption inherent within the system, as you would".

Taeleh paces to the back of his cell, spinning around once more.

 

"But then again, to many I am but a mad-man... And yet I state resolutely what I have said before— for the voice of the Children of Silver will not be silenced".

 

"ay'Larihei'leh sirame k' taliihye, ay'elcihi k' cruare."

Riondil places wax in his ears, in hopes of drowning out the mad mans rants as he continues from inside his cell.
