Just cause

[Cali]

It's because of people like you.
I have a reason to fight.
The unfortunate.
The poor.
The weak-minded.
Those who have been born without.
I know that it is not your fault.
I know that you are angry.
I know that you hate me for just who I am.
I am trying to help.
But there is not much I can do.
And I cannot accept to just sit here and let you take my life from me or that of my family.
So I will do what I must to protect myself, my family, and those who walk within Esshar it's self even you.


Justice is the concern for peace and genuine respect for people.
It is not easy for me.
But though you may claw at my pride.
Spit on my name.
Try to kill me.
I respect you so I can understand your pain.

I know what is right from wrong it is so painfully obvious I don't understand how people can choose another path.
Is it because it's easy?
I have temptations I can understand but to be strong I need to ignore them and so I will.
I do this because I seek the impossible.
Justice for all

I don't care how stupid it sounds that will not sway me away from what needs to be done.
So with my head held up high and my pride swallowed, be that beaten bloody.
Thrown into the pits of despair I will remain within the light.
In the end, you can either join me, or you can perish with the creatures of the night.
I won't let you mistake this for kindness or mercy.
It is a choice that isn't easy.
But I will only give it to you once.

"They queen executed that kid, Sariel help I saw him - he held her sister down and made her watch!"

"He's just a kid... What was he supposed to do?"

"He should have just said no, He's a Pelleaux he should have some say..."

"You know what happened to the Last Pelleaux that spoke up.."

"I feel for him..... I truly do poor kid.. to be forced to do such a thing.."

"He should have just listened to the queen, what an idiot!"

Stop.

I didn't have a choice and now I-
I just wanted to give a chance and nothing more...
I wanted to bring them to the light but this..
This is not justice...
This is not a just cause... 
You know it, you see it and you deal with it...
I'm just a kid.
Why does it take a kid for you to understand wrong from right you have years ahead of me.
And it's not hard to tell wrong from right we judge these people every day.. on the matter.... but who are we?

I'll never be the same..
I can never forgive myself for following that order...
How could I?
How could I.....

Malziel please place your light upon me show me some sort of sign of what I must do I am broken.

GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION

A bystander is just as much as guilty as the perpetrator

[Cali]

"I have always walked this path alone, I strived for the hard choice beceause evil is always the easy choice."

It is so easy to commit evil because it is considered a natural reaction.....

If you are hurt, disrespected or even feeling alone

The natural choice and the easy path is to react in an act of evil.

At the same time.

The right choice is Obvious/ The good is right there but it's hard to take due to these emotions...

I too sometimes Suffer from these Temptations.

I have seen Corruption but I cannot force people to do good, they have to do so on their own.

Everyone has a single chance of Redemption, even the most foul [humans] have their chance...

I may only shed light on this, and guide them, I cannot make them take the right path.

And thats what makes it so hard for me.... I only want what's best, but I shed countless tears watching those actions go undone by the most simple of  misunderstandings.

But what do I have to be a beacon of hope for those I watch over...
Saving their life is not enough.
Telling them that everything will be alright is not enough.
Naturally they want more.. but I cannot change the future...
I cannot  change the past, and some scars will never heal...
I needed more than just words - I needed a reason for them to believe me that I was on the path of a just cause.

I sought the impossible for a just world and I still do, I am no longer alone there are others who wish to see my dream come true.

I sat in the temple, I begged and pleaded for a answer, I wanted to re-assure my self that I was on the right path...

And though I didn't expect an answer, for I am just a man.
