A Vow to the Departed

-"Swan, what do you personally think of stars?"

In a dimly lit room with nothing but a desk and a chair would rest a recently bought book, it's contents mostly blank only beginning to display the thoughts of a person; another message engraved in it for someone.

---

"Keep fighting, keep swinging.

You are far from enough."

"You must be not be slow....
Never again."

"These stars, I think they're like people in a sense. Pure, yet we can also be any color we choose. From one's personality to even the way they carry themselves in and out of battle; Some colors mixing well with some while not so well with others. There's certain types of colors I absolutely don't like...both my shoulders still ache thinking about them, it's clear that their colors would be water to my oil.

 Regardless they're all a means to an end; stepping stones for me to eventually crush.

Those irritating knightly types and their 'righteous' causes are especially irksome, trying to push their ideals on others when they don't necessarily ask for it. Although, maybe I would have ended up like that. Maybe I too would have been obliviously naïve...what a bunch of suckers am I right?"

...

"Failure. You couldn't even uphold one of your promises to 'her'.
That person died and you've done nothing about it!"

"Are you TRULY worthy?"

"If I perished now. Would I be able to look them in the eyes?"

"No matter what acts those types of people may put I wont be fooled, I will not be swayed; especially by that one swordsman. I may have been struck down once, but that isn't enough to persuade me. Do they think of me as someone so fickle? A waste? Some bandit? They may think of me however they please, it wont matter as they will be the one eating the dirt next time and the time after that even if our magics are similar as I will simply prove my superiority, I must and absolutely will. I'll learn from whoever it takes, I'll train many times harder than what I've gone through in the badlands to do such.

I must become worthy, and for that reason I'll cut down anyone."
