You have made an ultimatum of me, and I have Your answer. You did not
wish this to be private, so I will let this decision be made public as
well.
First, You are a hypocrite and a liar. I will address each of these
charges to You and any who wish to know more.
outc ash
eat ash for Your lies, You have promises that have been left unfulfilled
because Your whim changed. These promises were not to me, but to other
members of Your order. Apparently, I am supposed to be mindless enough
to have forgotten what Your order was like when I had joined, but I have
not. I remember the neutrality of the Magi and of Your word to the Magi
members who sought the Light path, the Sentaari of Your order who helped
it grow, and those many others who put the foundation into it until it
was strong.
For Your hypocrisy, first I will begin with Your hatred of the forestal
community. First, Your living followers need their services. Even You
cannot turn a blind eye to that fact.
Secondly, for One who hates forestals so much, You have aided them far
more than I ever could. You give them blessings when they offer to You,
and don't think that I have forgot at the time You made Vasilus an
Azudim, he was a 'filthy forestal'. So which message should be received?
You hate them, but aid them. You grant Your divine blessing to one of
them. It's a good thing You hate them so, if You liked them, they would
rule the lands.
Second point of hypocrisy, You have ridiculed my decision to aid my
family despite what guild or order they are in. Yet it is You who
ordered me to cease my attacks on the Lady, Your Sister Auresae after my
two year torpor. There are only two possible explanations for this:
1) You are a coward who knows that Her order will fight back, and deep
down where You may lie to even yourself, you fear anyone who stands up
to you.
2) Your family does matter. If it did not, why does Lord Haern or Lord
Dhaivol, or even Lady Omei, all of whom you speak ill about, still live?
Why not destroy them? After all, family
doesn't matter to you.
You told me that if I were to join the Druids, I would be 'hunted into
obscurity.' Obscurity means forgotten and lost. If You give that
command, You make me a legend, the Man who forced You to react. Not that
it's really You, as always, You will send others to do Your bidding.
Those points notwithstanding, Your efforts will fail. I will not be
obscure, because nobody, not even You, can erase what I have done. That
is fact. My accomplishments do not die simply because You send anyone to
kill me. They still happened.
And on that point, Your will was to have me hunted if I join the Druids.
Point taken. And if I join the Luminaries, who are more Your enemy, all
is forgiven? How about the Daru? How about any guild which calls You
their enemy? What if I remain Atabahi? I will of course overlook this
poor choice of words as You only said 'druids' because You know of my
desire.
You are nothing, Lord Galleus, but what others have built. You are truly
the Wind, empty and hollow. My only regret is that I have allowed Your
filthy essence to corrupt me for so long. Any time You wish for it back,
it's Yours.
You think that a perpetual hunt is an answer? It is not. First, You may
have Your essence back at any time. Second, I left Your order before
making any changes. You have no more jurisdiction on me or my life.
Beware when you allow the Wind to guide you, it will change direction
suddenly and unexpectantly, and if you don't like where it's taken you,
you have yourself to blame.
