Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris Coulter" data-source="post: 809828" data-attributes="member: 1026">You save the world. You will save your child.You will end the Wizard's menace.Stopping the child's death prevents the abyssal disaster that could kill thousands and take hundreds of years to turn back. The Job (being a paladin) is bigger than any one, sometimes any ten, and rarely, any hundred lives. The Job calls for sacrifice in time of need. What others could never give must be cast aside without hesitation in order to serve the greater good.Others could not give up fortunesOthers could not give up lives.Others could not give up loved ones.In an instant you will pay a price others could not even imagine.You will make a choice that a lesser man could never face.You will make this choice and you will save the lives of countless innocents who will never know your name or see your face, but because of you they will live and prosper and look into the faces of their smiling children who know not of fear nor strife.You will pay.You will give up the one woman in all the world who filled your heart like the sun fills up the world.Your heart will tear and ache and turn to ash.You will be empty.You will be alone.And then the smoke will part.You will look upon the land and it will shine back at you.You will look upon the people and they will see you. They will know what has happened and they will be made humble in your presence. They will show you the honor due to one who has given what they could not so that they could live another day.You will stand in the grace of your god, and the land shall know of his glory and mercy through your example.And for all your sorrow, you will look down into the eyes of your blessed child and see it's rich and joyous future.You will hurt, but you will heal.</blockquote>
