I feel sorry for you most of all Sylvus. You were a good kid. You may not be
guilty of their crimes but there you stood, the good man doing nothing. Your
apathy gave way to complicity. I'll let you live, that is your penance. Carry
this pain forward and learn it's lessons. I was conflicted. The man who
mentored me, fostered me and made me who I am had inflicted the greatest pain
on me. The home I had come to know and brothers I bled with were all gone and
I couldn't offer any defense not even against his reason. The brothers, and I,
had become bloated with blood and undisciplined in the shedding of others'.
Our skill and our indignant sense of righteoussness had grown malignant. Our
master like a skilled surgeon was offered no recourse but a swift and
judicious excision of the cancer we had become.

He spared my life that night, as he had spared us all once before. I carry his
lesson with me now. There was a logic to it that I must endeavor to understand
so that I may continue the mission we had failed. The depth of his teachings
were lost on our naievty. Justice is not blind, punishment must be metted out
in a logical and exacting process by which a universal good is achieved, this
is what I have learned from him.
