TALKS WITH TURIR by Xazappith Courage. It is a state of mind that allows one to face danger without fear. But not all courage comes from the danger of a weapon. I spoke recently with Turir, following a death by his hand. This man, I feel has the most noble form of courage I have seen. He was once a herald himself, in the time of Lydana, but departed because of conflicting values. He felt that Heralds should know how to defend themselves against any danger. Throughout the course of our discussion I found him to be adamant in his beliefs. His goal as far as I can glean is to purify the Heralds to the few who can both write well and fight well, that they may defend themselves. He claims that only the strongest and most dedicated, who can master the art of the quill and a weapon, should be allowed within the Halls. Almost all I could do was ask why. He would not change his mind, but that would not stop me from digging into it. His response was that he killed out of love. After hours of sitting with him, and speaking with him. I began to understand. He wishes to be a martyr for his cause: bringing strength to the Herald. Unfortunately for him, his own point is being proven with each battle he walks away from. The impression I got from him was that he wished to lose. He wants the Heralds to become stronger. We parted ways with a warning from him to me that if I joined the halls of the heralds, he would take it on himself to make me the best I could be. I leave you with the same warning. Although I do not agree with him personally, Turir is strong of mind and body. He will be out with his weapon, seeking to test the strength of Heralds. Perhaps it will prove to be for the better. Perhaps he can turn into reality his vision of what the Heralds should be. Only time will tell. |
