Adam approaches Za'era

[malkav565]

Once Za'era has had some time to rest, Adam approaches her.

"We have differences, Za'era - this is ok. I am here to apologize about some things, and reiterate others."

"I feel you must understand what I am telling you before it is too late. Once you have heard me out, I will no longer discuss it with you. Our future together is only action."

"First, my apology. My fiendish blood is a challenge to me and patience is sometimes hard for me. You have made great strides in resisting the teachings of your culture. I know I do not recognize this enough in you."

"Next, my advice. If I seem hard on you, it is because of your great potential. But at some point it is up to you to release the pain of your past. This pain is helping evil win the fight for your soul."

"Have you not noticed that when you grow angry and despair that the fiends take over? Your scars, both body and soul, are like chains that sink you on your swim to freedom."

"Until you are ready to let go, you will not be free."

Za'era looks up at Adam as he starts to speak. She sits on the ground in her meditation pose next to Eolaer and listens until he is done then closes her eyes for a moment. She lowers her head as her eyes open again and stares to the ground.

"You do not know much about me Adam. Maybe much less than you think you know. I understand you fought your war against your own blood and it seems you won. I am happy you managed to do so. I really am."

Slowly Za'era gets up and looks at Adam.

"I once asked for your help but you belittled me. I once asked you to abstain from treating me like a child but you belittled me. I spoke about my doubts and fears but you belittled me."

She takes a deep breath and looks at the mace at her belt. Her hand rests on the handle. Her thoughts slowly drift to what she has lost. Tears start to well in her eyes as she thinks back to meeting her father just a few hours ago. She swallows then looks back at Adam.

"You treat me like a child because I behave like one you said. Maybe it is the other way around though. Maybe I behave like a child because you treat me like one. You ask for tolerance for yourself and your ways from us but you show none to us or our ways. You behave like you think that your way is the one and only way possible and tolerable. It might be true for you but we are not like you. We all are individuals. We all have our pasts and our demons. We all have our own ways. We can agree on certain things but I will not get myself bullied around by passive aggression from you. You may not use steel nor magic but words to harm those around you and in my case it leads to severe reactions. You say I have to fight my anger and pain and evil? Then why do you keep triggering it? I do not need you to 'train my skill' to control them if this is what you will come up with next."

She looks at Eolaer then Rin then back at Adam.

"If you want to be a saint, fine. It is your path and I am fine with it. I just give you one advice no matter if you care for it or not. Saints show no aggression but tolerance. You want to save souls? Maybe you should start by stopping to send mine to hell. This is all I have to say. What you do with it is your choice."

Adam looks disappointed and unconvinced.

Bowing slightly, he nods. Then he leaves silently.
