The Wrath of the Righteous

[Harbor]

"You speak. Say my people's Name, you call about my past, this island's past. Speaks about threats and dares to call my Sanctuary a Haven for Darkness. How brave of you, Oracle.

You speak about half-measures, excuses. Yet not me, nor my people have given you any.

You have never bothered to step a foot in my lands.

You claim an Righteousness that doesn't belong to you.

You wait for Sabathiel to die, to do this, to 'hunt witches', wasn't you, Ysayl, that said that there is bigger threats? Sak'noth, Xarses, Metta, the covens... Where are these words now? Where are the Crusades against the Fel now? With all 'your righteousness'. It's really funny because, I know he would've supported you. Witches must stop or be stopped. He would kill his own mother for these words.

But if you desire to disturb my grief for this, to lay the cards bare. Then so be it... I will let you know the truth. Oracle of Athelios.

Indeed. In the most Recent years I've learned about the selling of his soul, and through many came to know about his consume of Fantasia. Of the later, I came to work towards it, as my sister, Hina Lam, worked on the creation of a Cure.

However. How did Vokel come to be a warlock? He was but a child when it was done, that I also know, because He let meknow, in a way that would not end him for how dangerous was his contract, Ysayl. With no ally to defend him. A child sold for three Austereia by his own mother, to become just one more for a coven, a child that sough to be loved, became just a number, one more name in a book. By telling me, he proclaimed his goal to cleanse his soul and become free from this path. Since then, I've been teaching him in the ways of the Four. For That is what my Sanctuary was created for, to raise the Dragons, to help them follow a better path, to create something better, and to show that there is more than disgrace and pain within their Lives. And to ask me to surrender him to you, is ask to give up of this, to give up of my promises, to give up of what I believe in But you would know. In every sermon, every preaching I made.

I believe in redemption and in Redeem.

Through effort and through death.

Vokel, however, does not deserve death. A child betrayed by their own family doesn't deserve death.

Arlyss and Servant that were plotting against the world again and again, exchanging letter with Ulciel and unleached an old evil onto this world is deserving of redemption, of a second chance, you were willing to go to Hel for them, but Vokel is not deserving of that?

It's not impresive that I would wish to do the same for those I believe in. But I should not be surprised, only your own are worthy of redemption, isn't that right?"

"However I see the need to call forth your hypocrisy.

Na'ria did much worse, the attempts to destroy Aphros came from her, many died and suffered by her hands.

She refused an honorable death for the Warriors in the battlefield, dooming them to torment, to live in a world they did not wish to. And live a life where they feel incomplete. Not even a demon would do that, her own Kin said that, not even Lirael did that. Torturing them, and releasing them. It's cruel, sadistic.

And while I knew Vokel was a warlock, he fought for us, bled for us, contantly fighting warlocks and witches, demons and undeads, he wasn't hiding in Aegis or Dragon's Nest, he was seeking a path away from all this, he was seeking a path were he could be free, and yet to ask me to send him to death. A man who has hurt and hunted more witches and more of the fel than your Bastion.

But when Aegis was in war against Gloomlight, he attacked your people didn't he? He hurt some of you, as you hurt some of ours.

Now much more than that.

however, you accuse me of hidind him when there were attempts to make things clear... And if you wish a proof, here it is:"

A copy of a Letter is displayed in her announcement:

"Yet. An answer was not given, and the event happened even so.

Which, I must add, would have make all this clearer and a needless headache would not happpen."

"And Phoenix. You should stop with your lies. For you never came back to me, you never sought to know what I am doing to help Vokel, what I am willing to do to free one of my Drakan's souls, you spoke so much about helping him, and offering support, because of your past, but you are the first to point figers and accusations."

"So my declation remains. Whine about the name of my family, complain about the stained past, remind me of the mistakes of my blood.

But nothing, and I assure you. Nothing, will make me give to you those under my wings. Those that I protect and guide to a better path, for my word and Faith are with the Divines."

"However. I will give you a single warning. No threat to your land have came from my mouth, for I decide how things goes here.

We don't want that to change."

And finally, her speech seems to end.

But a decision is made clear:

Vokel Dawnseeker is under the Herald's wing, and his soul is to be retrieved.
