[Saleh starts his day by going to the Barracks, working on the mastery of his magic. He easily casts Elfire on the dummy, burning it to a crisp. And then he pulls out his Divine tome and extends his arm to cast the spell...but nothing happens. Startled, he tries again, but still no result. He then glances down at the incantation in the pages, ( Read more... )

No, it does not make you a coward. Sometimes one must consider all the options, before sacrificing themselves. Even for another.

mountain_sage July 1 2011, 19:48:00 UTC

That is true, but in this particular instance, there was no time to consider options.

honorthecode July 2 2011, 03:40:18 UTC

That happens unfortunately.

Do you regret what you did?

mountain_sage July 2 2011, 12:23:08 UTC

Regret? Overall, no. Rydia was safe; that was what mattered the most.

If there was anything to regret, it would be the grief that I've caused for Rydia and those who cared for me.

I'm so sorry you lost that on my account, Saleh.

[Written/Filtered] mountain_sage July 1 2011, 19:49:14 UTC

There's no need to blame yourself. I was the one who acted, after all. This is the lesson I'm learning from it.

[Written/Filtered] eidolon_soul July 1 2011, 20:33:44 UTC

You will be able to regain, given a few months...but I know that can be a long time to wait.

[Written/Filtered] mountain_sage July 1 2011, 20:39:10 UTC

It'll be all right. I can still use anima magic, and I can still heal. So this penalty is but a small price. I'd rather have this than to lose my healing ability.

It doesn't. You have more to think about, and it's obviously going to make you reshuffle your priorities, but it doesn't make you a coward.

[Voice] mountain_sage July 2 2011, 12:26:09 UTC

I see. That is true, of course. My priority to serve the Great Dragon will not change, but the decisions to take drastic actions might.

[Voice] derek_bliss July 3 2011, 18:25:31 UTC

Or just spend some time working it out ahead of time. You have a better idea of what can happen now.

[Voice] mountain_sage July 4 2011, 18:01:47 UTC

I'm not sure. Things are different in my world. We don't even know what we're up against...

Leave her protection to me from now on.

[Voice] mountain_sage July 2 2011, 12:11:32 UTC

Kain...

[Now it's starting to make sense, particularly as to why the dragoon had punched him.]

Again, I know she is precious to you, but understand that you are not the only one who cares for her.

[Written] dragoon_pride July 2 2011, 14:22:15 UTC

That may well be, but if you ever save her in that manner again, you'll earn an extra penalty from me.

[And if you think he's not serious about killing an ally with what he considers 'good reason'... you haven't been around him long enough clearly.]

[Voice] mountain_sage July 2 2011, 17:03:05 UTC

[He just glares at the journal some more. Not that he doubts Kain's seriousness, but it just sounds foolish.]

So you would rather I let her die? Is that what you're implying?

[voice] hazelrink July 2 2011, 01:57:23 UTC

Um, did the Great Dragon write you back?

[voice] mountain_sage July 2 2011, 12:27:01 UTC

[He wasn't quite expecting a question like this.]

Hmm? No...I don't expect him to write back.

[voice] hazelrink July 2 2011, 17:51:37 UTC

But you're asking him so many questions. Shouldn't he write back?

[voice] mountain_sage July 2 2011, 18:02:19 UTC

I wasn't exactly writing to him. It was more of a prayer.
