"...it's never just gonna be that simple. If only it was. I could beg, and beg, and plead with myself to make sure it never happens again... But in the end... I'll just be like this forever..."

"Then is it better to never try to better yourself? One should always strive to improve. Perfection is impossible, but that's no reason not to attempt it."
-
"Not worth the effort..."
-
"And that is where we differ in opinion, but I shall respect your ideas." [b][i]She says, bowing a bit.[/i][/b] "At least you are on our side then."
-
"Close enough to being on your side, but I could easily just end up backstabbing you. Wouldn't come as a surprise."
-
"We both know how that would end for you. You may have magic, but I, the blessings of the spirits."
-
"The spirits are just as powerless as we are. They're just those of us who've already proven too weak to be alive."
-
[b][i]Daun growled a bit, before snapping back[/i][/b]"Bite your tongue! The spirits are Gaia Mother's children, great Shaman who passed to serve her! They passed because she called them to a greater purpose, as she will all Shaman one day."
-
"So she's like a leech. Takes spirits for her own power. You can't possibly say that all spirits willingly submitted to her. Guess you could say that your prophet is somewhat false, huh?"
-
"She created us, and when we have done what she has called us to do in this life, we return to her. The spirit's that give us shaman our abilities are her most devoted! All spirits come from her, and we return to her care and peace willingly. All of them." [b][i]She said. Daun was devout as her companion would know. Probably one of the most devout there were. Every festival was celebrated without fail, every ritual done when required.[/i][/b] "And we do not have a false prophet, as there is no prophet. We speak through to Gaia Mother, and she is our creator."

-
"Or you've strayed from the path she had planned for you. If this is who you are, perhaps she called you to defend people and nature from those who seek to harm like this man." [b][i]She said, gesturing to the body.[/i][/b] "No matter though, Gaia Mother shall forgive you for whatever you do, as she knows we as humans are flawed beings."
-
"and she created those flaws. It's all her fault. All of it.'
-
"No, it is not. She created those flaws to teach us to work through them and to better ourselves. Do not blame Her for your lack of control."
-
"I will. She could have done something, yet never did."
-
"Because she is not here to spoon feed you. She gave you life, made you flawed so you can learn to be resilient, and so you can do your part in her plan, and then you will return to her in eternal peace. She will take care of you, but she will when we return to her."
-
"I won't return to her."
-
"Then you can enjoy wandering the world in agony for eternity."
-
"I don't believe in just one creator. I'll just lend my strength to some god of destruction, or something.'
-
"And doom yourself and the rest of the world to eternal torment? Well, I see you're intelligent."
-
"I'd be dead, what do I care about the others?"
-
"But what happens after you die? Do you think a creature who's only love is to cause torment is going to let you spend eternity in peace? No, they will subject you to the same torment as all other souls."
-
"And what if my turn on is eternal torment, huh?"
-
"Eternal torment is being subjected to whatever you hate the most. If you enjoy pain, you will he sealed away where you can cause no harm to yourself or others."
-
"That's hot."
-
"I... i will never understand you." [b][i]She said, a mixture of wonderment and disbelief.[/i][/b] "Though, this reminds me, I must look for Devil's Horn and Bristen for a ritual."
