An Echo of Things to Come

Kendall Lobdell

“That's not what you need to do, Tal'kamar," Asar interrupted gently. "You know this. The true evil is always in the reason and the excuse, not the act. I was fooled. I was angry. I wasn’t thinking. I had to do it, else worse things would have happened. It didn't hurt anyone. It hurt less people than it would have if I hadn't. It was to protect myself. It was to protect others. It was in my nature. lt was necessary. It was right." He said the words softly. "We have both been alive long enough to know that evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death-but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also." He looked Caeden in the eye. "And that, my friend, is what happened to you."
