Chapter 2

Grahmgin thought long and hard about the talks that were done today. About
the entertaining of war against the Outlanders for their repeated attacks on
those of the Fortress..yet..he just couldnt see himself doing it. While
he abhorred the evil within it, he felt compassion for those not evil and
knew that there was still a chance of redemption. Even though each of them
would see him dead for his ties to Akan and the blood that ran through him,
he still loved the ones of the light, and prayed for those that could still
be redeemed. To this point he had learned toleration of their deeds, and
hoped that living an exemplary life would help in changing what they did. He
also contemplated on their Huntress and the Spirit within the Tree of Ages.
He knew that while both consorted with the darkness, neither were
truly.dark. And that was it, that is what held him at bay. How could they
strike out at these two souls not tainted by the darkness and rip from their
grasp the fetish they swore to protect?Who would stand over their lifeless
bodies and feel that what they had done was right? None he associated with,
he prayed. He felt Corrlaan was trying to get something out of those around
when he suggested the war, but he wasnt sure quite yet what it was.
Grahmgin himself though, had already placed himself as a supporter in the
battles of the Fortress, not seeing how as an Acolyte he could stand amongst
the raiders and still hold on to his Oath of an Acolyte. As such, he had
decided that he would arrive to raids, but never join them. He would only be
there to protect those that did. Granted if one showed to fight him, he
would protect himself, but the actual job of raiding he would leave to the
Maran. He loved his brethren, but would not take the path they had chosen.
His was on of protection, not one of bloodshed and destruction.Perhaps this
of itself was also a reason he wished not to see another war, it would bring
more bloodshed and destruction.He had even offered to walk away from the
Fortress if it meant the Outlanders would be less likely to strike at its
members, and in the end save lives. He knew though that even if he left
there were others whose blood they sought, and being so, Grahmgin set his
mind to continue in his ways of protection and teaching of faith. He also
said that whatever his elders decided he would do, and he would see them all
healthy through their tribulations.
