Fool Wanderer.
Always the entity began these conversations with those two words. It was during some prior such chat that the minstrel took to chuckling in response. Truthfully he'd taken to seeing it in the light of humor. He knew there would always be some lesson to follow.
" I passed through the Gate of Darkness, those who do not understand consider those who do a fool. Those who know better.. know that I am enlightened by the Dark. We've had this conversation before. I hope you did not draw me out of my mundane existence as a petty adventurer to repeat it. "
Distracted, Wanderer, you have grown Distracted.
How perceptive of the Nightsinger! It wasn't as if he had not already realized as much since meeting Evangeline and the unforunate matter of what he and others of the Obsidian Heart had discovered in that alley. Well certainly he did find himself distracted now in the aftermath of Brena's disappearance and the discovery of what had happened - if not the why it had happened. He'd thought it wise not to inform Evangeline of the drow rumored to have been the direct cause of her caretaker's demise. There really was no way of knowing if any others would take the initiative to inform her of the fact themselves.
" I've been distracted ever since you unleashed that song in my mind. "
Hiding truths from an entity could very well be a Goddess if he thought for a minute that his Nightsinger was the Kanesh of these lands? He did not believe it, no deity would bother with him, but still he saw what it could do for him.. a way in to have the faithful of Kanesh on his side. Manipulation was in the lot of a minstrel, nobility had to be manipulated to sponser a proper musician after all.
She distracts you from your self-claimed destiny.
Will you allow light to disperse your Dark?
Wait.. he realized the point of this lesson early, destroy or corrupt.. or rather lead to his way of thinking. He'd always been against that sort of manipulation when it came to those who had their own paths in life. Manipulation best served him when it did not take away from those he considered worthy. And although his least of those he believed worthy was considerably small it was present, existed.. something that included the likes of the Northman and A'kana, and certainly the likes of Maria and Evangeline. Alas one of those was not like the others.. none of them were like the others in truth. Individuals all. Seperated from the masses. Their shadows were one, not a mass of darkness caused by so many sheep.
" This is not distraction, Singer of the Night, this is my path and I will not let any Individuals become apart of the ignorant sheep again. "
After all for one of those people he owed his life, others he considered friends, really the shadow of his path extended to them all.. giving support to any one of them would be following that path. Exactly as he'd learned during a prior lesson from the Dark. The Strength of the Pack is the Wolf. And the Strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
