Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darkness" data-source="post: 36721" data-attributes="member: 13">The hooded wanderer stands on the field of battle, breathing heavily but also victorious against a very strong opponent... S/he barely hears the words of the judge, still needing to relax and also to calm down again. After a few minutes that seem to stretch out into an eternity, the hooded wanderer slowly puts the judge's words that still swirl in his/her mind together. Comprehension follows soon, setting the wanderer's weary eyes ablaze with fiery determination - something s/he had not known for years. In a soft voice made rough from a dry throat, s/he whispers to the judge,"So you say that I now may follow a path - a path that I can choose for myself...?"The hooded one draws in breath like someone who knows that he is about to drown, and after a moment, exhales forcefully.[color]"Very well, then. Let's see, which one will I choose - hm... When I think of the example of an honorable warrior that I've met, my stomach turns. I would never want to be like that ogre and also, honor holds no meaning for me, for I have lost everything in this live and clinging to such a ephemeral concept of chivalry seems just silly to me - like a live in a dreamworld. No, thanks.But then, money doesn't hold much appeal to me, either; it is just a means to an end, and I'd feel even more hollow than now if money was the reason for my actions and even my very being.Further, I stand alone - I don't want company, and few would want to keep mine.Thus, the path of the darkness shall guide my life henceforth. Heh. Only fitting, really, for I have lived in shadows for so long that darkness is a very intrinsic part of me..."[/color]The wanderer in darkness bows deeply before the judge - kneels, even."Thank you ever so much for enabling me to once again find purpose in my life, o venerable one. I shall not fail - again..."[ooc: Big surprise here, neh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />]</blockquote>
