Nithel was just… so done. He put two fingers on his forehead and stared at the three mirrors.

Accept your unforgiveness and vengefulness.

Accept your anger and wrath.

Accept your greed and selfishness.

The first and last caused no fear in him. None at all. The second did… as he thought of times in battle where uncontrollable rage had filled him. At the children the Adenites were murdering. At the women they were ravaging. All the villages and crops destroyed. He thought of his own family, and ached for them, hoping they were alright.

Nithel rubbed those fingers on his eyes, now. I was created to save lives, not take them. So much guilt. But at the same time? The killing, the war… it was necessary to stop it. But though he knew it was necessary…

“To go through any would only be what we deserve.” He glanced from man to man, wondering if they would be coming against everything every man had done together. Wondering where Alessio was. “I can go first. To whichever you all decide.”
