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...

You don't need to have someone's blood on your hands... to carry something just as heavy.

The only thing you can do is keep on moving forward.

I've got all eternity to do so.

Something's keeping you alive, huh?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Something...

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

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?

...what lies ahead of me is a life forever dedicated to death.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Forever is a long time, Tir.

...I doubt that. After all, aren't you talking to me right now?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

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.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

You've resigned yourself to that?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...you don't understand.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Of course not.
