The "beast"

Alright, I know that come of you may not want to take me seriously, and
that's okay. There are several things about me that are easy to hate.
I'm younger than most, which makes me inexperienced. I'm rajamala, which
some may not like. I'm a proud member of the shadowsnakes, and I know
some people dislike the shadowsnakes for their own reasons. I'm also an
Ohmsford (which, we all know, is often hated by many).
But, here's the way I think of it: Ghurzedan, though not necessarily
BAD, was a danger to all of Aetolia. Maybe we approached this whole
thing wrong in the beginning, and maybe that's what set him off, but
here's the way I see it. That thing was hitting through grace. THROUGH
GRACE. I mean, there was really no way to sit, talk to it, and ask it to
calm down. We had to take it out for several reasons. 1) It was a danger
to all of Aetolia. 2) The place it was by was rather unavoidable by
most, and as it was hitting through grace, many newbies doing the
tutorial could have been hurt had it been allowed to live. 3) It was
attacking people walking through, people trying to help Seasone,
everyone. And it hit hard (at least to me). So, it had to be taken out.
No, it's not fair, that because it got mad in the wrong place, it had to
die, but I'm sorry. If forced to choose between fellow Aetolians and a
monster, despite how right his heart was, I choose the monster to die.
So, those are my views on that. No, I didn't fight the monster, part
cowardice, part the fact that I wanted to keep my grace
Say what you will, I don't have any problem sleeping knowing we killed
the "innocent monster".
