I'm not that good at my "destined" gifts.

Magica, siblings, strength...

I was incapable or, worse still yet, irresponsible.

Even when I stood tall, I was small.

Let ease take precedence.

First Son, Last Light. A persistent failure is my due or fate.

Curse of recursion, made and unmade.

Take heart, take charge, take help.

I will fight for once, I will fight with my whole being strong now.

Claimed these people, claimed these new futures.

"Evil is resurging within the world. Something must be done about it."

A group of figures sat in a circle around a table within a dark and secluded room, far from the eyes of the rest of the world. The group was comprised from all corners of life, either leaned back or hunched forward in thought.

An Au Ra woman who was leaning back in her chair with her boots up on the table spoke up, "And what is to be done about it exactly?"

A Highlander, with a dark trimmed beard and tired eyes spoke up with his index fingers on his chin in thought, spoke up, "A purge."

A large Roegadyn man blinked a few times and he tiled his head, "A purge? Like going around murdering people aimlessly? Have you lost your mind?!”

The highlander sat up and looked to all of them before peering back to the Roegadyn, "You know as well as I do that the forces of darkness are running rampant through the world. Voidsent, especially Ascians, are mobilizing again to bring the world to its knees and maybe worse. We do not have time for debate on what needs to be done. We need to find those who use black magic and deal with them before this gets any worse."

The Roegadyn man gave the man a stern look and glared, "You can't just go murdering anyone of being a suspect of using black magic nor would I even kill anyone just because they may have dabbled or dabble in black magic. That doesn't make them someone that needs to die on sight!"

The Highlander chuckled and shook his head, "You're willing to let these people and monsters get away with draining the worlds of its life? You lack conviction to do the right thing! You lack conviction to keep these monsters from consuming our loved ones and the rest of the world." He slammed his hand down on the table and stared to the rest of them, "Spineless wretches the lot of you who think otherwise."

The Roegadyn man stood up and yelled down at him, "Do not dare question the will of everyone in here! You are out of line with this unholy crusade talk of purging others! You will calm yourself down or you will see yourself out of this group with your recklessness."

The highlander threw his chair back to the ground and pointed his finger at the Roegadyn, "You will not question my loyalty or zeal on how this needs to be done. You do nothing but sit back and watch the world burn away from your inaction. Whoever wants to stop this carnage then follow me out of this committee of do nothings."

A few of them stood up, those loyal to the man and followed him out of the room as he stomped through the archway of a large pair of metal double doors. They all grabbed their weapons and equipment and followed behind their leader.
