#67838, "Ethlerrereva's Role Chapter 6"

RoleChapter 6 Maturity (Part I) Added Sat Jul 4 18:04:20 2020 at level 41:One of the benefits of protecting life is seeing all the ways life can surprise you, even when the surprise is disappointing. Even heartbreaking. The War is like that. Many of the things she thought would be challenges are not, and many things she thought would be simple are the real challenges. The most important is the knowledge of magic. She knew from her own people that it would be difficult. That the powerful addiction of magic would make it difficult for the mages to stop. But in her heart of hearts, she thought, hoped, even assumed, that at least the goodly folk would see how important it is to stop. She does not fault anyone for having used magic, for studying it. She herself lived a childhood where magic was common. But only because the truth was unknown. Everyone had lived under the false belief that magic was merely a tool. But with the truth revealed, that magic is the heart of evil, a poison that kills, she believed it would merely be a matter of spreading the truth, and that would win half the war immediately. Only the dark hearted, who cared nothing for life, would continue, as they did anyway.
She was wrong. So wrong that one of her own kind, an elf named Masbent, after being told the truth of magic, attacked Ethlerrereva! She has always given those mages of good heart the chance - many chances - to change ways. She asks. She cajoles. She explains and even begs. But to little avail. One member of the fortress, a Zipwherp, lied to her face. That is how powerful the magic's pull is. And with each she warns that if after many times speaking and trying to convince of the truth, the last resort will be violence. There are things it seems that only a minor death can teach. Lessons it can instill. She herself knows, having died many times, and each time something new was learned. She knows if the mage dies and spends a few hours in a ghostly state it is not eternal, or even very damaging. And she takes comfort in the hope that spending those few hours after the violence will imbue the mage with the strength and resolve to do what is right and fight against magic as she does. Doing otherwise, now knowing the truth, is the very definition of evil. Selfish use of power to the knowing detriment and destruction of others. It makes her sad to see.
However, some of the War and her life is uplifting. Her times with Ergush renew her spirit and sense of joy in life, even if they are less frequent than she might hope. And she has seen a dark elf kill another dark elf, a villager fighting the War. She has no love of these dark folks, but their setting aside of personal greed and lust for power to fight in the War is, in its way, inspirational. And she has discovered things in the far wider world than she could have imagined. Sights to behold, items of great beauty and power. Things of abhorrent evil only seeing is believing. All unexperienced, but for the parchment viewed long ago.
