This is especially true of those who consider themselves heroes but don't understand the meaning of the word. I think your actions in our encounter today speak for themselves." "If I let you go and you come back to kill me, I'll be making the same mistake as the protagonists of many a story who allow the villain to walk free out of mercy and later are thwarted or slain for it. 'Don't do it!' we shout to ourselves as we read the book 'Don't trust him! He's just going to betray you!'...And yet, we cannot change the outcome of that book. But this time, I can. I don't like to kill, but I don't want to see the people I care about dead. If I need to kill you now to protect the dreamers of this world from your violence, then so it must be. I'll regret it, but I will do it. Please, though, I would like you to convince me that I need not do so. Really, though, I don't see how I can believe it if you won't even let me help you."[/color] [/QUOTE]
