(Part 2)
"There are so many villains in the world now. And villains just don't bow out stage left after the evening's play is done." that was our primary goal. To defend humanity from villainy.
"Our time needs a great need of heroes." I wryly smiled as I looked from her to me. We were not shaped like the heroes of old, like Oglath the Strong or Unhilda the Mighty in the ancient epics. We just looked like Wesley and Tara.
"It's more then simply fighting and killing. It's a expression- a extension of the will and desire to do what is right and good. Extended through swords in cutting... or hands in healing. To reconcile our differences among ourselves for the greater good of unity. So far we have been successful in that." What else- what else were we facing?
"To work for peace among humanity... through the protection of human life from occultic threads. We've managed to overcome racism, sexism, and nationalism here... I want to make it clear that we cannot lock slayers or watchers into the rigid boundary of this country or that country... they can be a gift for more then just the United Kingdom or the States- a gift for an entire world."
And of course at the moment the gift of the slayers was from the dark place. How so many times I wished it was from the better place.. perhaps then there would be less evil slayers rising.
I had to use my role as a leader to work in our own way for what was the good of all mankind.
It was time for me to use my conscience... it's a trifle dusty now but with some spit and polish it will buff up as good as new. It was time for me to set forth and continue being the Champion I was brought back to be. I stopped and looked around at the Slayer Academy- the buildings- the distant rolling green hills- and the people here.
My heart will never leave here.
