Scene: Kendos' monologue

December 20, 2016 ·

"I'm not your enemy Zunery. I never was. The Royals are and always have been the enemies of the Commons. In the early years they incited rebellion against a false god (Siernak) and claimed his throne for themselves.
Where ever they go, they create disparity and division. They destroyed humanity's relationship with the Asophon (aliens). They murdered Skenso and forced his followers to the corners of the world. They've raided towns for tribute and claim they govern nothing past their city walls. And you, you were with them! Yet you come here with your band of warriors to kill me?" -K
"Your little rebellion stirred a war that cost countless lives. How many survive only to remember those that are now lost?" -Z
"General Zunery, you wear the shoulder plate of a General, having trained entire battalions to fight and kill. You stand here and lecture /me/ on the value of life? Bah!
You're not here on some righteous journey. You've not traveled here by fate. No force or entity compels you, but yourself. It's your path, your choices - they have brought you here. I've watched you since our first fight. Sure you killed me then, I needed to die to be reborn. Afterwards, you trained and trained, you led armies to keep order, by raiding the countryside, by blackmail to keep voices silent, and by assuring accidents happened when they needed to.
I may be cursed to die a thousands deaths, but Zunery you've thrown away your only life for a petty vengeance and fake heroicism." -K
