Thirty-Eighth Order

[It's 5:30 in the afternoon, and Ky is out taking a walk. For once, his head isn't held high, but rather is down as his eyes sweep the ground in front of him

You look more upset than most of the others.

[sacred_thunder]

It's the orders I received. I... I've been forced into a dilemma.

[namusan_messiah]

Being conflicted is difficult and dangerous. The important thing is to decide what you think is right with a clear mind.

[sacred_thunder]

Yes...I've made too many rash decisions in my life to not have learned that lesson.

But this time... This time I must either betray my faith or betray those I promised to aid and protect.

[namusan_messiah]

I think if you truly focus, you'll see the way to protect both. If you were a Buddhist, I'd tell you to take refuge in the three jewels... but I'm sure the spirit of the idea translates.

[sacred_thunder]

...I certainly hope I can find a third option to take. Thank you for taking the time to hear out the woes of a foolish young man.

[namusan_messiah]

Not at all. It's a valid dilemma, and you have my best wishes.
