[QUOTE="doghead, post: 2944864, member: 8243"] [b]Xavier Roce, male human servant of Heironious[/b] Xavier smiles at Valaria. "I like you Valaria. But if you honestly believed that I would simply take you at your word, then you have much to learn about the Servants of Heironeous." [center] * * * [/center] But despite Xavier's relaxed response, the paladin finds himself deeply conflicted. The goblin witch radiated evil, and everything he knows of her godess tells him that she too is evil. But yet, what he has heard from Valaria and the goblin witch is not that different from the teaching of his own god, Heironeous. With great power comes great responsibilty, and great temptation. Those who wield great power must be ever vigilant of themselves and their own, watchful for signs of hubris, for madness. There is always the danger that the teachings will be perverted, twisted to serve ends other than those that for which they were intended. Noble causes can be used to hide self-serving ends. And sometimes, violence is necessary. There are differences. Hieoneous does not claim that only his followers are fit to wield power. And there are limits as to what lengths and means are acceptable. In the end, everything must be tempered by compassion. Otherwise order simply becomes repression. But is that what Valaria is fighting to protect? The thoughts just go around and around in Xavier's head. During the trip down river he keeps himself busy working through strenuous training routines with his weapons or motionless, deep in prayer and meditation, attending to San Franedial or staring out over the countryside as it slides silently by. [center] * * * [/center] Xavier rolls out of bed, grabs a cloak and follows Arthur out onto the deck. [/QUOTE]
