Role

Chapter 14

I was warned that my path would be more treacherous even with my sins
lifted from my Spirit. I walk amongst the gray, neither in the Darkness
or the Light. Lacking the ability to see the auras of others, I cannot
judge the Spirit of those who ask me for help. Knowing this, I cannot
claim ignorance in what I've done.

While I was paying a visit to Hamsah for a little training, I was
contacted by Xii, telling me she was stranded in the Silverwood forest
dying of dehydration. The first thought to cross my mind was that someone
needed saving in a capacity I could perform. The second was utter
surprise, knowing that I was still known to Thera as a Necromancer. I
took to the roads at great speed, despite the gates of Hamsah being
locked and found my way out through the river.

It was relatively easy to find her, as she was directly on the road south
of Galadon in the Silverwoods, indeed dying of dehydration. What I did
not expect when I arrived was the pervasive aura of her magic and the
dark intent she wields it with. Despite this, I gave her water and food,
not even thinking of the potential consequences of saving one that
knowingly and even happily walks with evil in their heart.

It is my firm belief that -no one- deserves to die. Were I to simply
abandon her to her fate and foolishness for not having water when she was
so near to the city... I would have been no better. I know in my soul
that I did the right thing in coming to her aid. I can only pray that the
Lord Corrlaan sees it an act of Mercy, and that my path is not
jeopardized by my act of selflessness in anothers' time of need.
