PROMPT : ‘ knowledge is power ’ TAGGING : @hcllowfm
' i have yet to find a man who can think his way out of sword’s blow , ’ he replies , almost managing to sound clever as he does so ; but clever was never the goal of eliar umber . rather , in jests , he stumbled upon truths . he doesn’t have argument with the sentiment , not truly , just a point to be made beyond it . physical power is what the giant’s son had been blessed with , and he was content with that . eliar leans to the wall beside him , wondering for a moment what the man’s point was . usually , he wouldn’t try to root out reason , but the events of recent days make him more inclined to attempt . ‘ maybe that’s just personal experience though , and i’ve never been that interested in either . ’ knowledge and power weren’t what drove him , freedom and glory did .
