Anung Un Rama.
β No offence, but itβs not my job to think about whatever vendetta your kind and the humans had however many centuries ago. Iβm a here and now kinda guy, and all I saw was you and your pal siccing a bunch of tooth fairies on a group of people who did NOTHING to you. βΒ
Great. This was exactly the kinda navel-gazing, thinking man type crap that Red did his best not to think about. He brings the half-spent cigar back to his lips β- drawing deeply and exhaling at a distinctly leisurely pace. STALLING. Not that he doubted himself, or his actions. Just trying to put off a conversation he REALLY did not want to have.
β Believe it or not, Iβm not entirely unsympathetic. Iβm sure you had your reasons. But, pal, when even your own SISTER and FATHER are willing to fight to stop you, you gotta wonder if youβre really fighting the good fight.Β β
β Β they Β have Β become Β weak. Β mere Β pets Β to Β their Β kind, Β like Β you.Β Β βΒ Β hose Β nose Β was Β offended Β by Β chemicals Β and Β smoke, Β ochre Β gaze Β swinging Β upward Β from Β its Β place Β along Β black Β tar. Β whether Β or Β not Β this Β DEMON Β would Β wax Β poetic Β here Β and Β now, Β the Β truth Β was Β simple. Β he, Β raised Β by Β man, Β would Β continue Β to Β side Β with Β them. Β one Β of Β them, Β perhaps, Β in Β some Β delude Β way. Β
Β the Β elven Β prince Β had Β seen Β many Β a Β war. Β many Β a Β forest Β cut Β down Β despite Β their Β treaty, Β and Β faerie Β creatures Β near Β and Β far Β were Β forced Β to Β flea Β or Β give Β up Β their Β lives. Β what Β were Β they Β to Β doΒ ? Β place Β a Β glamour Β on Β their Β bodies Β and Β disappear Β into Β the Β crowdΒ ? Β hide Β for Β the Β sake Β of Β a Β survival Β that Β was, Β by Β all Β means, Β their Β RITEΒ ? Β he Β would Β not Β stop Β until Β his Β people Β could Β know Β peace Β between Β the Β boughs Β of Β light Β and Β dark. Β until Β the Β golden Β army Β had Β slaughtered Β just Β as Β many Β as Β THEM Β as Β they Β continued Β to Β mow Β down Β in Β heinous Β numbers. Β Β β Β when Β they Β come Β for Β you Β Β Β Β Β and Β they Β will, Β demon, Β what Β choice Β will Β you Β act Β uponΒ ?Β Β β
