Yes, I did bring along Aivas and Enali. Yes, it was with the intention
of killing you. However, I didn't intend for them to fight you unless I
should die in battle first, one on one against you. That all changed
when you kept summoning them into your grove, eventually killing Enali
before I could brazier him back again. At that point, it was 2 on 2; a
fair fight. However that is not the point. Let me dispell your one-sided
assumption about my "teaming up with demoners."
I had no idea that you were just attacked by demoners, as we had come
only with the knowledge that you were in your grove. By the time we got
there, there was no sign of battle or demon in sight. But let's say we
did know, hypothetically. Would I then be a demon sympathizer for
attacking you after demoners attacked you? You say I am. However, I am
staunchly against both magick and demons, and I would just as soon kill
a demoner as I would a magicker (perhaps even sooner). I hate both
magick and demons. Think of it this way: The three circles--Anti-Magick,
Magick, and Demonic-- are each like a focus point on a triangle.
Anti-Magick is the top point, magick is the bottom right point, and
demonic is the bottom left point. I, as an Anti-magicker, oppose both
the demonic circle and the magick circle. By killing one of the opposing
circles, I only further prove my allegiance to the Anti-magick circle;
not that I sympathize with the other opposing circle. This is what I
mean when I say your logic is half-assed. Had you been a demoner in the
same situation, I would have tried to kill you just the same.
So what prompted me to approach you with murderous intent? A day or so
before I left for your grove, you had hoisted Aivas to your grove,
killing him with your Magick. You did this not only once, but
repeatedly, to Aivas. Justice and Honour compelled me to avenge my
city-mate's death. You said earlier that you were only trying to avenge
Khalim's death when you came into our sands and attacked us. Yet you
cannot now understand why I came to your grove to kill you? Aivas had
even more of a right to seek vengence than I did. By repeatedly hoisting
Aivas to your grove and swiftly executing him, you brought a mark upon
your head: a bullseye.
You are not one to chastize me for being "dishonourable," as you were
the one swooping down on an unaware citizen and killing him effortlessly
in your grove, again and again. I would hardly call that a fair fight,
but you seemed to be just fine with it then. You obviously have no
concept of a fair fight so you are not one to criticize me for being
"unfair."

Say all you want to my City, Janea, because my City is one of Honour,
Truth, and Light. Her foundation is built on Justice; her arm reaches
far to crush the unjust. Her eyes are guided by the Fires of Lord Baar;
she sees through the lies of her oppressors and burns them for the
vermin they are.

May Justice and Truth prevail,

Kodo Ashtear.
