Love and Destruction

Addressed to: Sir Alesud al-Hamasa, Ironwood Archer


Hello there, Sir Alesud, how are you?
Yes, I realize that we cannot hide from those things either. But at any
time did I mention that?
I don't believe that I did.
I do not hide from anything, I do not hide from death, or chaos, or
destruction.
I never said either, that I ran from reality? All of this talk of
running is quite amusing. I embrace Love, I embrace Peace. I do not hide
or run from the things that would destroy me. I fight in my own way,
Alesud, as you fight in yours. Yes, people may think Shallites are
paficists, that we are cowards.
I am here to tell you that we are no cowards. Because we would rather
help people, the hurt them. Talk to them insteed of kill them. You may
love killing, but that is your prerogative, your choice and your
opinion. The Divine gave us minds so that we can decisions.
I understand your view, as well as why you would think we are weak, or
pacifists. But personally, I believe someone that can stand in the face
of death, and not fear, has just as much courage as someone who faces it
down with a weapon.
We all have our own ways of fighting, Alesud, mine is just a more
peaceful way. My 'peace and love Utopia' will exist as long as Mother
Shallah is in my heart, nothing can take that away, and nothing ever
will. My body and mind can be destroyed, but my soul belongs to Her. I
respect your opinion and am glad that there are others in the world who
show enough bravery to let it be known that they feel strongly about
something.
Thank you for responding, Alesud, even if it wasn't meant for me.
With Peace in Love.
Jaxrilan, Child of Dragonflies.

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Artificium, in the year 578 AD.
