Feystrim says 'You asked my true aspirations aye?'
Feystrim looks at you.

You say 'Yes, I did.'


Feystrim says 'Is it not obvious?'

You say 'To slaughter those you deem shaded in darkness?'
Shalihn smoothes his robes out carefully before beginning to rest.

Feystrim says 'To put it mildly aye'

You say 'You fight for the light, then.. to perhaps understate it.'

Feystrim says 'Understate it? How so?'

You say 'I'm hoping that is not your only goal and ambition.. to fight.'

Feystrim swishes his claws about in the tea abit.
Feystrim says 'I am a fighter for the light, but there is more .'

You say 'I had hoped so.'

Feystrim smirks.
Feystrim says 'My fight is eternal and I am but one person in this world..though I can and will make a difference'

You say 'You can?'

Feystrim says 'I have today.'

You say 'In what sense?'

Feystrim glances at his blade.
Feystrim glances at you.
Feystrim says 'You fell.'
Feystrim says 'A simple victory for the light.'

You say 'You assassinated me, yes, and carried what little items you could carry from my corpse. You believe that makes a difference?'

Feystrim says 'Indeed it does.'
Feystrim says 'You have weakened from that blow.'

You say 'Let me elaborate slightly.. You believe that taking clothing from one whose power is granted to him by his god alone is a victory for the light?'
You say 'I have?'

You cannot find the Cabal Power within you.
You close your eyes and concentrate for a moment.
The aura flickers for a moment but ends up untainted.
You are surrounded by a white aura.

Feystrim smiles happily.
Feystrim says 'You have'

You say 'No, I still have the same abilities.'

Feystrim says 'For a bit you did not.'

You say 'Nor has their effectiveness been lowered.'

Feystrim says 'If there were many with my thoughts..there would be many more instance were you were weakened.'
Feystrim says 'Thus weaking the lot of the dark tide.'
Feystrim says '*ahem* weakening.'

You say 'As a healer I have learned something, felar.. and not solely as a healer, but as a student of life and seeker of knowledge.'

Feystrim says 'And it is?'

You say 'That being that not all battles are won through combat.. this may seem foreign to you, as you make a living spreading death.'

Feystrim chuckles politely.

You say 'But it is no less true.'

Feystrim says 'I agree to some extent..there are those that can be saved.'
Feystrim says 'Without blood.'

You say 'If you believe for even a heartbeat that because you slew me I was weakened, you are nearly as closeminded as one who walks the village.'
You say 'And sadly, even they are often more openminded.'

Feystrim smirks.
Feystrim says 'Perhaps my mind is not open to one whom pledges himself to the healing of the darkness.'

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

Feystrim says 'One who roams with those who wish to crush Thera in its so called 'iron fist'.'
Feystrim says 'Tell me..to whom are your prayers answered by?'

You say 'Stop that, felar. Prejudice is a shortcut to thinking. Put thought behind your words and perhaps you might come closer to understanding me.'
You say 'I follow the teachings of Lord Zulghinlour.'

Feystrim chuckles politely.
Feystrim says 'So tell me..what is your passion drow?'
Feystrim says 'To someday sit upon the throne?'

You say 'I am comfortable in saying that he is the only one, save myself, to know of what drives me.'
You say 'And as I stated before, not all Imperials are after the power you seem to believe we thirst for.'
You say 'Answer me this..'
You say 'Hypothetically speaking, of course, suppose Balator through negotiations of some sort, became under Imperial rule.'

Feystrim says 'Jaragh would not allow it.'
Feystrim says 'But..do carry on.'

You say 'Would you then slay every member of said city.. the villagers and children? Merely because they are part of the Empire?'
You say 'Do the crimes of others plague them, as well?'
You say 'And again, stop presuming to know the thoughts and intentions of others.. I am confident in saying that you do not sit down and chat with Jaragh daily on his personal affairs and views on things.'

Feystrim says 'I do not..he does not speak often.'

Feystrim says 'All those in the town that fell under Empires rule would face my trials aye.'

You say 'Do you feel that if an arial came in here and slew Olin, that all arials should be forever banned from this establishment?'
You say 'Your trials.. I am unclear on what you mean. Are you saying you would kill them?'

Feystrim says 'Aye..those that fell victim to the Empire.'

You ponder the question.
You say 'Fell victim?'

Feystrim says 'The mindless ones who would not fight but simply bow down.'

Shalihn nods slowly, his white hair glimmering in the light.

Feystrim says 'Such as the ones who the Blades slay and then ask to oath..and they do so.'

You say 'Let me rephrase that slightly..'
You say 'Do you know anything of History?'

Feystrim says 'I have read a bit in the Lyceum here aye'
Feystrim says 'But I am limited.'

You say 'Do you know anything of the events coinciding with the tailed star?'

Feystrim says 'No, Not really..saw it in the books..but I did not read the entries.'
Feystrim shifts about.

You say 'Very well, then.. '
You say 'There was a man.. the dark man of Gehenna.'

Feystrim says 'Aye, I have heard of him.'

You say 'He lead forces which controlled Arkham.'

Feystrim nods.

You say 'It is said that he did not wish to stop there, though, and was undergoing negotiations to expand.'
You say 'Negotiations, mind you. Not mindless slaughter, but he actually was speaking with the heads of various cities.'
You say 'He quite obviously did not succeed.. but suppose for a moment that he had.'
You say 'And Galadon was now under his rule.. now, would you assume, then, that every creature that came out of Galadon was evil to the foulest extent?'
You say 'Or would you speak with them.. perhaps learn of their life, their desires, their families?'

Feystrim says 'As I said..'
Feystrim says 'Those who fell under his rule..'
Feystrim says 'And shunned the lights beliefs would be harvested.'

You say 'Though how would you know?'
You say 'Do you now claim to give someone the chance to prove that they shun the lights beliefs?'

Feystrim says 'A chance?'
Feystrim says 'Thier actions shall speak for them.'
Feystrim says 'And this shall aid me.'
Feystrim traces a single claw down the right side of his face.

You say 'Or, as you did with me, assume and destroy. Harm a life with little concern with what impact it has?'

Feystrim says 'What impact did you life have? Your soul is your lords.'
Feystrim says 'Would you give it all up to bask in the light with me?'
Feystrim raises an eyebrow.

You say 'I need not give up anything, Feystrim.'

Feystrim says 'And why is that?'

You say 'For, according to you, I do not shun the light.'

Feystrim raises an eyebrow.
Feystrim says 'Explain your words drow.'

You say 'You spoke a moment ago that those who shun the light shall be harvested..'

Feystrim says 'Indeed.,'

You say 'I asked how you would differentiate between those who do and those who do not and you claimed that their actions would speak for themselves.'

Feystrim says 'Aye'

You say 'Now, seeing as how we have neither met nor talked, one could only assume that I have not proven to you that I shun the light, and therefore my death was merely blind bloodlust.'
Feystrim says 'You are a resident of the palace, and you claim that you do not shun the light hm?'

<471hp 643m 430mv>
Feystrim says 'Then..what do you do to aid it? Strengthen it?'
Feystrim says 'Nothing.'

You say 'I am a healer.. my duty is to protect it.'

Feystrim says 'Then why do you not?'

You say 'Why do I not?'
You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

Feystrim says 'Imagine for a moment.'
Feystrim says 'A Paladin come to the palace and beings hacking on the dear ol Vanquisher..both are evenly injured..whom would you aid?'

You say 'The Vanquisher.. as, like I just told you, I protect the palace.'

Feystrim says 'And therefore shun the light.'

You chuckle politely.

Feystrim says 'I am set in my ways Shalihn.'

You say 'Exactly how do you presume I am shunning the light by protecting the Palace from attack?'

Feystrim says 'How many of the light reside within the walls of the palace?'

You say 'I have yet to take a complete tally of every member of our Palace.'

Feystrim smirks.
Feystrim says 'I feel fairly confident when I say none.'

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.

Feystrim says 'You have vouched to protect the darkness that dwells within.'

You say 'I vouched to protect the lifet that dwells within, Feystrim. There is a difference.'

Feystrim says 'None to my eye.'
Feystrim says 'Those that dwell within..your lives are the ones that I seek to take.'

You say 'And unless you double as an Empire spy, felar, you cannot make any statement about it's making with any sort of accuracy.'

Feystrim says 'A spy..'
Feystrim chuckles politely.

You say 'What Edict guides your life?'

Feystrim raises an eyebrow.
Feystrim says 'Edict?'

You tap your cheek, lost in thought.
You say 'What.. outlook, guides your life?'
You say 'I hope, by now, that you have figured out that I am guided by Knowledge.'

Feystrim smirks.
Feystrim says 'of course.'
Feystrim says 'I would have hoped your knowledge would have aided you in guessing my "Edict".'
Feystrim says 'I aim for your graves.'

You say 'Destruction of the darkness?'

Feystrim says 'A rather gentle way to put it, but aye.'

You say 'Are you guided by the War between light and darkness, or merely the Combat involved?'

Feystrim says 'The war drow.'
Feystrim whispers 'The ongoing war..'

You say 'That is a shame.'

Feystrim says 'Oh?'
Feystrim says 'You insult my beliefs once more and I shall show you the war the light brings.'
Feystrim says 'Again.'

You raise an eyebrow at the notion.
You say 'I have yet to insult your beliefs, felar.'

Feystrim says 'You amke it sound like I waste my time..'

You say 'I merely think it is a shame that you limit your life to merely one thing.'

Feystrim says 'Your pursuit of knowledge is all encompassing aye?'

You say 'Fighting.. is there nothing else with you? For a moment I thought I was beginning to atleast teach you one thing.'

Feystrim chuckles politely.

You say 'Fairly encompassing, yes.'

Feystrim says 'I have sought and seek other things as well drow.'
Feystrim says 'Though..those are for me to know about.'
Feystrim says 'I am no mindless savage.'

You chuckle politely.

Feystrim smirks.
Feystrim says 'No matter what you believe.'

You say 'You almost proved that statement.. if you had not nearly discounted nearly all that you have said by attacking me earlier.'

Feystrim says 'Your death was justified.'

You say 'By .. my being drow? Or my being Imperial?'

Feystrim says 'Both had factors in my decision.'

You say 'I forgot which predjudiced blinded you for the moment.'

Feystrim smirks.

You say 'Prejudices, rather.'

Feystrim chuckles politely.
Feystrim says 'Aye..I am prejudice to your walk of life.'
Feystrim shrugs helplessly.
Feystrim says 'It is my way.'

You say 'Which walk of life?'

Feystrim says 'Those that shun the light as I have said.'
Feystrim says 'A moment'

You say 'Yet you have yet to prove that I have ever shunned the light.'

Feystrim says 'Ahh..but I have.'
Feystrim says 'Take my paladin, palace story'
Feystrim shrugs helplessly.
Feystrim says 'Proof enough for myself.'

You say 'The sad fact is, you did not justify it with that "story" until only moments ago.'

<471hp 643m 430mv> say It was unjustified when it happened.
You say 'It was unjustified when it happened.'

Feystrim says 'Not at all.'
Feystrim says 'You jsut thought it was.'
Feystrim says 'I could have drifted gback intot he shadows and never have spoken with you drow'

You say 'You just explained that you justified it with the fact that I shun the light, and justified claiming I shunned the light by something I said only a few moments ago.'

Feystrim shrugs helplessly.

What's bothering you?

Feystrim says 'The kill was based on the knowledge of you inhabiting the palace.'

You shake your head in dismay.

Feystrim says 'As well as your kinds beliefs.'
Feystrim shrugs helplessly.

You roll your eyes in disgust.
You say 'Again you place me amongst others.. Which "kinds" do you speak of now?'

Feystrim says 'I do not wish to repeat myself.'
Feystrim says 'You are not an individual amongst the Empire to my eye.'

You say 'Then take off the blindfold, felar. '
You say 'Those who are unwilling to see something, often do not.'

Feystrim taps his cheek, obviously deep in thought.

You say 'As it were, I have only 4 years before I must meet with my Lord again. Perhaps someday you might again listen to my words and actually listen.'
You shrug.
Shalihn nods slowly, his white hair glimmering in the light.
You say 'This was.. informative.'

Feystrim says 'It was..something.'
