"I fail to understand?" he could feel the anger rising, but he didn't care, "I don't care to understand! if death and murder of innocent farmers and laborers is the way he exists, than I will end his existence today! by myself!"

"ENOUGH!" roared the dragon. "You speak of vengeance and hatred as though they are yours to command! they command you! you lose yourself to them, and you will never know a day of peace again!"
