“Why? Simple: so that others make not the mistakes I did. So others do not suffer the way I did. Teach by example. In this case I mean making an example of myself for the fool that I was.”

‘ my anger is righteous & my actions are pure. ’ [ U pick the muse friend. ]

“So were mine. I was avenging her. That’s what I told myself. The Mad King and all of his people could suffer and die, wither in the face of my scorn, all in her name. But do you know what good it did? Aeryn’s people no longer leave the elveswood, that is true, but my people. My people are the most detested race in the western world. They tell people we’ll come and steal their babies out of their cribs. And do you know where I ended up? Bleeding to death in a ditch after being stabbed by a tavern full of men who saw the colour of my skin.”

“So I laid there, bleeding out, thinking about the fact that all my rage, my righteous fury, had done, was cause the pain and suffering of two different races, and now I was going to die in a ditch.”

“But I got a second chance. I was saved, and Aeryn was too far gone in his madness to be a real enemy. So I let it go. After hundreds of years of holding that seething hatred and bitterness in my heart. And now, I have a life. I wander with my two companions, and we do odd jobs, and I sing a tune for coin when we stop in towns for the night. It’s nothing like the life I lead, but you know what? I’m happy. Letting go is freeing. You might want to consider it.”
