[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1680748, member: 8944"] "You misunderstand completely. I ask you what can be gained by the revelation, other than the DESTRUCTION of the order dedicated to the man whom you believe is your ancestor? Surely you cannot believe that there would be only one child who claims the blood you do? Surely, you can see that the church cannot be based on heritage! It is a matter of FAITH, not BLOOD. You would make it so, but the church is not a kingdom to be held by a Holy King...it is a ideal, to be preserved by those who [i]believe[/i]. "By all means, use your power. None of us could prevent you, anyway...but remember that your blood may afford you more responsibility, even as it fails to give you privilege among the Called. The mysteries you speak of are mysteries, so far as I am aware, that are irrelevent to the Faith. Tell me, Justice--what do you expect to gain? Perhaps there is something that I simply cannot see. Live as you are called to live, and use everything that the Light has given you to be His Hand...but do not seek glory for an accident of birth. You are a hero because you have chosen to become one, whether it seems so or not. "Your power, whatever it is, IS a gift...but it is not that that worries me. Do you understand?" [/QUOTE]
