Chapter 2

3. Think and control your actions before bloodshed. Patience and diligence
will guide your actions.

Aerithas stood by the holy altar in Hamsah Mu'tazz, visibly shaking and glancing
around himself. He had just broken the law. The conjurer and it's imp had been
hounding him through the city attacking him, but when he had managed to push the
battle into his own favor, he pressed on and struck the conjurer in the city. He
nearly ended the conjurer's life, and was..excited? Scared? Nervous? Remorseful?
Ashamed? So many emotions pouring through him all at once after these combative
moments.

The first two drow he struck down had been murdering those of the light at the
moment and it was far easier to cut them down. This conjurer was no such direct
threat to the light, only to Aerithas himself. Breaking the law was something he
never intended to do, what would his brother think? What would the guild think?
What would his future goddess (hopefully) think?

He remembered tenet 3 of the Paladin Code once more, swearing to himself he
would do better. Actions have consequences, and though he was not caught
breaking the law this time, the thought of forcing those like his brother to
strike him down was not a pleasant one. Thought before action. Temper and
control your strikes always. He will do better.
