Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaira" data-source="post: 2892113" data-attributes="member: 37069">The cloaked and hooded figure strode along the many messages pinned up, some ugly and others leaking beauty when she came upon this last note. With a pitying, sympathetic gaze from beneath the hood, she lowered the hood to reveal flowing red hair and sparkling, emerald-green eyes. With a soft smile, she began to write with a flowing, perfect, script that would mark her as a cloistered scribe or scholar or a priest, rather than a traveler of sorts, as she seemed to be.Friends, I prithee thee to halt this overwhelming anger, lest it spills over unto something which we shall all regret.You all seem to forget the frailties of this mortal life that we all lead, and seem to, even more so, forget what awaits us at the end of all things. You seem to neglect that, in the end, we all turn to dust, fading from memory, from life, from everything.Will you choose to shed each other's blood, over and over, again and again? Will that, really, truly, and necessarily, solve any of the conflicts which we now face? Life is short - for the Fair People, for the dragons, as well as for the human races - it is so incredibly short. Shockingly so, at the end.At this point, a tear falls from the elf's eye to splotch on the paper.How can you know love or trust or happiness if you do not foster those same things, and strive for those same things? Do you honestly think that, by reaching for your weapons, by threatening another's life, by yelling ... do you think that you can foster such things?If you would know love, know trust, know happiness, I bid thee - nay, plead with thee to put down your swords and spears and axes, thrust aside hurt and pain, deny threats and promises of blood. These days, in this land - and all lands - there is already overmuch blood being spilled; thou need not add yours to the stockpile.There is little love and understanding, however. Please, I beg thee, friends, remember this: in all things, love is the greatest gift to give.*The note is a signed with only a single letter*A</blockquote>
