These are the words I can’t spill to other people. They would only destroy and I haven’t the heart to do that. I would kill them releasing all evil of my burden. Even thought I destroy things that should have been dead long ago, something with beauty deserves a chance.
This certain evil cannot be destroyed my any mortal or immortal weapon men posses. I am the one who wields; I am the one who can destroy it. But, its power is deceiving. It has blinded my vision for years.
How do you diminish it; one might ask. Destroy the one who carries it, you must. Although once destroyed, it shall break the balance of peace. That would be no joy ride. I went out of my way to make this evil true and that ‘tis what keeps me from ridding it of this land.
To men, this seems ordinary to defeat with swords and spears. To elves, dwarfs, faeries, wizards and mages; this burden of evil everyone will carry shall last for all to come.
