On Betrayal

I know in my heart that I am a coward, a betrayer. I left Mattias
to die, I slew Kaleb. I know that I have no real place in this village
of the brave, no hope and no future. The Prophet sought to comfort
me, but his words ring hollow in my ears.

I do not know what my fate holds for me, but I trudge wearily along
towards it, resigned to whatever it is. I deserve the worst of things,
for what I have done. But how could I choose otherwise?

I am an object of pity to the others of my race, they sense my pain
but know nothing to do about it. I myself know not what to do but seek
atonement of some sense. I doubt that there is any way to atone for
my actions, and have no hope about that. Instead, I will suffer this
agony, giving voice to my pain.
