Continuation path by Lucent Shadow
"I believe it is worth that price," you answer earnestly. "The Hordika is my friend; it has
never put me somewhere I never intended to be. Has it made me more moody
and irritable? Yes, but that's to be expected. That is the nature of
such a form. But I believe there are things we can learn from the Hordika
that we can't learn otherwise." The HeadMaster nods, seeing your point. "It doesn't make much sense to do away
with it out of fear of losing control," you continue. "Losing control is a possibility
no matter who we are, what we do, or how we do anything that we set out
to do. I feel there's a reason that the Hordika is in me. I don't know
what it is yet, but I'm confident that in time, it will reveal itself as
long as I maintain faith in the Hordika. The question is..." You look away for a second, then switch your focus back to your leader. "Will you all
maintain your faith in me?" The HeadMaster looks at you and smiles gently. "Of course we will. But I'm worried about what happens if you're seen by any villagers like this. They may think of you as some sort of rahi, and, being themselves..." His words trail off and he shakes his head. "They'll take you down. What will you do then?"Comment below!
"You may be worried, and that is fine. I am not. I believe that should they see me as such, they will know what to do. If you and the others are so concerned now, then I will announce myself to the villagers tomorrow as the sun sets, transform before their eyes, stand tall and proud as a Hordika, and let them decide. I have confidence in myself, even - no, especially - if no one else does.
ReplyDeleteI accept me for who I am, and I wouldn't change that for anyone but me. If no one else will, then so be it."
