Session 19: Callum's Reflection

by Callum Virtaernus

At first I felt a sense of reservation regarding this plan. Not for lack of preparation, but because of the moral ambiguity of some of methods. I promised to ensure Kal's demons don't run amuck. I vowed long ago to never harm an innocent. It seems that my promises lend themselves to shades of gray I never once had to consider, much like our assault on the Cassalanter estate and the potential danger it posed to those uninvolved with their Infernal workings.
 
And yet, the moment the Kython revealed itself, I knew there was a great purpose here. These fiends have possessed this family entirely, and they'll stop at nothing to get their way, jeopardizing the very fabric of the universe itself just to achieve their ends. There will be forgiveness to ask for, this I know. But the greater calamity would be doing nothing.
 
Kal's new blade...A thing of beauty and terror all at once. Yet no sentience within this one, and something I can put to use for the justice and honor I would stand for till my dying breath. Let the fiends taste its bite. Just as the first few did. And when Geryon seized Kal, I know I gave him a sting he'll never forget. Perhaps the others will come to fear it as well. In Torm's name, I would endeavor to ensure just that.
 
Fight for honor. For good. For truth and freedom. All of it is at stake for the people of this world, even if they don't know it. Those beside me do. In this moment, I fight for them, I bleed for them. I'll die for them again if it comes to that.
 
I was born for this.
