Re: Thread III: Hunt for the Sun
The colonel nodded at Sabre Fox's words.
"Thank you for the news; it's good to know. But we won't need to set up defences, for we're moving shortly - we have to explore those tunnels to find the source of power these people are using to create their monsters."
He paused, then added, with a smirk:
"And if you really are a disciple of Starfire, then when you meet again, tell him that I'd gladly cross my blade with his, one day; his head is worth a marquis title in the Hammerlands, and beside, there's no Drakkar who wouldn't like to measure themselves against such a warrior."
Then, he turned to Sun Snake, as if looking surprised by his question; after a moment, he answered, and his voice was very serious.
"You don't. You can't build the world you want, Kai Lord, but you can rebuild yourself, and destroy those parts of the world you don't like. As for fighting, it is the way to find yourself, to prove yourself and to understand who you really are. Every victory you gain is a proof of your strenght, just as every defeat testify a fault you have to squash out of you. And in the same way, all that you kill give you the value of yourself; for every life you take is one more you valued less than your own, so each new one makes yours worth that much more."
He paused, as if wanting to let the point sink, and then concluded, with a smirk:
"And in so doing, you found what and who you really are, through your victories, defeats, and kills; and then, you know what you're capable of, and what not, and you can change yourself, to be better suited for destroying everything that makes the world a worse place to live in, to you. That's a truer vision of things than you have, Kai Lord; think it over."
A moment later, the female Drakkar turned to her commander and spoke.
"The Kai Lady Rain Feather, here, has divided the item for us - the left pile will make the soldiers wearing them stronger, the center one will make them faster, and the last one is filled with item that should give them some minor magic."
Then, she threw a red ring to the man, and continued:
"That's something that would try to control who wears it - it should be best if you were to keep it, Colonel; as for me, I'm keeping this."
She showed a sickle with a blade made of black onyx, before affixing it to her belt. Vyctar nodded, then turned to his men and said, in a commanding tone:
"Be quick with those people, we have real work to do!"
