Depli

So I am the leader, the one that bears this insignificant confront of protecting the protectors.

I am the one that brings them here, dragging them away from any family and life they have ever made, changing and creating them into the beings they were born to be – heroes.

I have to watch the severity and damage of the pain they suffer as they leave everything behind. I have to make sure they do not become damaged and degraded from the callous souls they meet. I have to watch them fall in love, but never allow them to be and share themselves with someone else, it’s all far too dangerous.

I don’t want it this way, but it’s my obligation, my responsibility which I can not turn my back on. Being covered in scars from a vicious memory is enough to remind me to no longer intervene with the ways of fate.

Most of the protectors will hate me; as they will not understand the ways I have been taught and the extreme principles which settle beneath them. Nevertheless, they still have to respect me, for I am their leader, their master, the only true link to survival in this dangerously compelling battle we are in.

If they mislead me, lie, or cause any breakage in the pack, I am not afraid of stripping their talents and leaving them empty. This family’s protection has sunk into the palms of my hands, if they were to become crushed by fingers and thumbs, then so does humanity.
