[Voice] Winterfest Musings

Dec 16, 2010 13:51

[Only a voice post, but to anyone lurking in Alexandria castle, they'll find the army's general stealing a private moment to herself at the top of the West Tower. With the coming holiday season, her thoughts return to a perennial concern of hers.]

Winterfest begins in two days. I wonder, is it possible to truly attain forgiveness?

...Sometimes I wonder. It has to be possible, I have to believe it... Otherwise, what am I doing here?

[ voice / locked ] knightedmayrose December 16 2010, 23:35:41 UTC

I wonder if I deserve to seek it.

[She falls silent for a moment. This falls painfully close to home.]

You're trying to live a better life now than you did before. ...As am I.

[ voice / locked ] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 19:06:10 UTC

I am. How do your efforts fare in that arena?

[Shadow remembers the voice of the General, after all, he makes a note to remember such things. Normally he wouldn't bother with such things, however, the subject is one he wonders about everyday. Finding a spare moment, he wonders if maybe he might be able to help the General, maybe even himself.]

May I inquire as to what it is that needs forgiving?

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 02:47:09 UTC

I exterminated two kingdoms.

[A pause, some more information would be nice, however he doesn't really want to pry.]

...Was it an order?

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 03:04:07 UTC

Yes it was, by a queen who until that point in her life had been kind and fair.

[Here, have a distracted newbie.]

I'm not sure I understand. What does Winterfest have to do with forgiveness?

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 02:47:48 UTC

Winterfest is a time for good will and forgiveness, a time of kindness and understanding.

[Voice] monk_princess December 17 2010, 02:52:46 UTC

I see. Thank you for the explanation.

Hm. I would like to think that attaining forgiveness is possible, provided that you're sincere.

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 03:04:58 UTC

Is there a line one can cross where forgiveness is neither possible or merited?

[Voice] heavenslament December 17 2010, 01:50:05 UTC

I've wondered that myself....

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 02:48:13 UTC

Have you reached any conclusions?

[Voice] heavenslament December 17 2010, 02:51:08 UTC

That some things can never be undone, but you can still always try to be better than you were.

[Voice] knightedmayrose December 17 2010, 03:05:39 UTC

Sound words. Is it enough to try?

I am not certain I deserve to.

I destroyed two nations, exterminated their peoples. That is why I believe I am undeserving.
