Eighteenth Star

All this talk...about murders and redemption.

Well I've got a reality check...no matter what any person, government, or deity might say...there are no pardons. There is no redeeming a bloodied hand. Once someone has killed, there's no turning back to innocence. It's impossible. Once someone has...murdered...they will never have a clean soul again.

That burden will be carried with them to the end of their days...and for some of them, that end will never come...

Something's keeping you alive, huh?

I'd want to, though! If it would make you feel better.

That's simply how things are.

...Was it a war?

.... My lord....

Is... There anything I can do to help?

Then vent like a real man, next time. Not like a pansy!

I'll assume that inquiry is rhetorical.

I don't have an answer for that either way. You can blame yourself all you want for it, but you'll never progress with that nature.

Something...

[identity profile] tenkai-soul.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
No, I mean...no one has to tell me "it will be okay". I mean, I've accepted my fate, after all.

That's not the same as what killers do.

[identity profile] tenkai-soul.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
that's...that's just how it is. I know what I'm to become.

The Balance of Life and Death...in the hands of a lad.

I'm not your lord. The noble house of McDohl fell with me.

Is that an invitation?

You want it to be?

[identity profile] nummeh-souls.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's not any of my business anyway, but...

You can let regrets slow down your steps, sure. But it only becomes another burden to bear when it keeps you from seeing what lies ahead, right?

[identity profile] ilpresto.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
But that's not good enough...

It's not good enough if you feel like this!

[identity profile] tenkai-soul.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
...what lies ahead of me is a life forever dedicated to death.

[identity profile] tenkai-soul.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
...give me a decade or so and maybe I'll get used to it.

[identity profile] nummeh-souls.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Forever is a long time, Tir.

...I doubt that. After all, aren't you talking to me right now?
pilot_princess: (one for sorrow)

But it's still killing, right?

Hook you up, tell you to go kill someone, and you do it because you're told. And you like watching them die because it means they approve of you and it means someone cares.

But that person's still dead, right? Still the same as a killer. Person's dead, they're not going back home.

Your argument's got a really big loophole.

No, I mean...so long as I carry this Rune, I will never die...I will be a tool in its purpose. And its purpose is the balance of Life and Death.

Killing someone in battle is survival.

[identity profile] nummeh-souls.livejournal.com 2009-01-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
You've resigned yourself to that?
