Role

Chapter 1

It has been many days since I have sat to write, though when I started my
journey I thought it would be often. It seems that I am no great author, and
that this will not be a guide for newly free souls. However, I feel I must
still bring an update of events, or rather thoughts.

A recent series of events has made me think ... about who I am and what I do.
was the behavior of a squire that has brought these thoughts into my
mind. In basic terms, the squire did not unsheathe he sword when he should
have, and then later went swinging it wildly without thought - to no end.

Since the days of my training for Loke, I had not felt such rage boil into
me. The failing of a friend and the increasing strength of the taint hit me
like I have never felt.The rage, it pushed me to new limits and allowed me
to draw on strength I did not know was there. It has been since, that I look
on my previous dealings and see flaws. I could not draw the full depth of my
rage out before, I could not see the truth of all things.

If the taint is within one, it cannot be removed. I see that now. Just as I
know I would expire before my soul would let the darkness slip, the same is
true of others.

To me, two lessons can be learned from the squires failings: lessons, which
I plan to live by.
1) Nothing is more important than cleansing the taint of the
land. Nothing.When the time is upon you, bring forth the
power of your full rage then and there,
without hesitation.

2) The battle cannot be won alone.Stay and fight with your
brethren. If they advance, you advance. If they fall back,
you fall back.

Perhaps I will update this poor guide again. But then again, perhaps not.
The taint grows daily, and someone must fight it.
