Role

Chapter 6

In his younger days, he saw and spoke with his Lords first Disciple often.
In the last of these conversations he was asked what he thought about the
natures of Order and Chaos and Light and Darkness.

He answered as he was brought up to believe, that Darkness only existed
because of the Foothold that chaos has in this world, and that should he
succeed in his Goal of driving out or destroying all of the Chaos in Thera,
there would nolonger be a place for Darkness to breed in the hearts and souls
of the Populous.

Jaegrudai disagreed vehemently.His contention was that Order and chaos were
not linked in any way to the Light or the Darkness. And here he put forth a
philosophy that Odrirg had not heard before, and found intriguing.

He taught that it was desire that brings the combat that feeds the very way
of the Ki-rin's holy Order. That Order brings about creation, and if you have
any pride in that creation it brings about the desire to FIGHT for that
creation.

After that conversation Odrirg has earnestly hoped to meet Jaegrudai again,
for he hopes to continue that conversation and to learn more about his Lord
from his Lord's Disciple. But he has not yet been able to find the Disciple,
and he will not yet let himself return to the Temple itself, as he was bid to
return when he found himself Worthy, and he does not yet count himself as
such.

After long internal thought and debate, much of which Odrirg (soldier at
heart that he is) lacks the vocabulary to put into proper words, Odrirg came
to the belief that what he had said about the nature of Order and Chaos being
linked to the Fortunes of Light and Dark in Thera is not incompatible with
the philosophy that Jaegrudai put forth.

As it is now, while he has a hunger for furthor enlightenment on the subject,
he knows balls to bones that he has enough of it right in his head to work
towards his Goal without faultering.
