Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 18.65 (section)

==Steve/Eranon==

''*Eranon takes a long time to speak, gathering his thoughts*''

"You speak well, Shadaar, and I am humbled by your words.  In the end, you were right, and I was acting a coward.  I have spent to much time listening to Zal'Kazir, methinks, as I did indeed sound like him.  Yet, I do beg for a chance to explain myself.  Vrolk is a menace to my people, and has been directly, meliciously responsible for the deaths of thousands, maybe more.  He is a traitor to all of my people, he is responsible, in part or in full for the threat facing Three Oaks, where even now, my family dies to protect us.  His capture and containment is more important than you, than me, than all of those people, including my sister."

"However, I should have been willing to lay down my life for any of them.  And I want you to know that risking my own neck was no part of my concern.  If we were to die, and Vrolk be released, or worse yet, KILLED, all we have done is for naught, my cousin would have died for nothing, YOU would have died for nothing.  You speak true, Erenlander, and as soon as a plan was presented that gave minimal risk of losing Vrolk, I gladly joined in."

"My shame in it is that I did not join you in the thought to strike out on my own and rescue them all myself, be they my sister or strangers.  Yes, had I learned of her presence among the group, I would have acted differently, and I am sorry.  In the future, I will consider your counsil with more weight."

"Let me, however, ask you something.  If you were faced with an entire army leading captives, would you have done the same thing, taken them all on yourself?"
