OOC Prepare to be VERY disappointed Sam XD

IC

"I don't waste time with hypotheticals. What happened, happened. That's the end result."

I look at Leon, looking almost hurt, "Don't say that, Leon! We went there because we care about you! We didn't want you to die!" I sigh, tearing up again, emotionally and mentally exhausted.

OOC Moving to phone.

Sophie:
"How can you say that...?"
I ask Crest with a tone of disbelief

Leon:
"Sam...listen. I would've come back, in a few thousand years, but you'd still have Crest; and he wouldn't have to face any sort of judgement."

"I mean what I say. I killed. Leon is alive, Sam still has her friend. I face judgement."

"That's all there is to it. No need to bog ourselves down with what could've happened. Because it didn't."

Leon:
"Still! I could've died for the better! WHAT have I done in MY life to even deserve friends?!" Thunder rolled across the sky as I tried to simmer myself down

Sophie:
"..."

"I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I let a friend die..." My voice comes out as a whisper and I shake my head, closing my eyes. I wish we could just stop talking about this; it's making me feel worse.

"leon... don't hold this regret. We all had our part and we did it all willingly."

I look up at them
"It's not regret....I just wish I wasn't who I am..."

I look at Leon with a huge amount of empathy, my eyes moist, "Leon... We love you for who you are..." I sigh and close my eyes again, wishing to just relax, but knowing that won't happen.

Regretting who you are...

It astounded me how close Leon is to me.


"Yes." I nod in agreement with Sam, stepping over to Leon, "You still have your friends, Sam, myself, Sophie.."

I look up, a slight amount of resolve in my face
"Crest, you don't have to live every day knowing that you in a past life killed entire civilizations, men, women, children, none of them being spared. Complete manslaughter..."
Suddenly, it lightly starts to snow.
"How can someone call me a bringer of hope when I've decimated innocence?"

I shiver a bit as the snow falls, curling up closer to Crest.

"Because that was in a past LIFE. It isn't you now."

I sigh, knowing he's right
"I know. Still..." I hold my palm out, a few flurrys dancing in my hand
"Sometimes I wonder if I can keep friends like Sam or you knowing I used to be a murderer." I drop my hand and the snow keeps falling
"Once you cut the head off you can't put it back on."

"Leon... If we were that close minded, then we wouldn't be friends." I look at him with serious eyes, "Trust us, Leon."

I nod my head in stern agreement. "I've never quit on a friend and I won't start now."

"Thanks guy's...for not being closed minded like most people."

OOC: Who here wants to hear about my Sorcerer character?
Just...asking ._.

OOC -raises hand and waves it- Oh! I do! I do!

IC I give Leon a friendly hug in reply.

OOC Sure!

IC

I pat him on the back in a welcoming way.

I smile, feeling warm for the first time again in a while knowing that I would always have friends: no matter what.

OOC:
Well okay then!
Ellis is a small town half sorcerer, in total belief he;s no one special. But when a mysterious visit from a cat girl named Celia reveals he's actually descendant of a very infamous, highly revered family of Sorcerers. Because he's a halfbreed, his reputation is always on edge, and being a Sorcerer he works from his heart to unlock his magical prowess, unlike Witches or wizards or are more like scholars and learn from using words and books.

I give Leon a smile as I lay my head back down on Crest's shoulder, mentally and emotionally exhausted.

OOC That's cool!

Easy way to remember the difference between Sorcerers and wizards is wizards are more like scholars, they learn with written or spoken spells and read from books to learn; whereas Sorcerers are more like poets, they work from their hearts and simply develop spells as they get older; and it just naturally comes to them.

OOC Sweet!

IC

"I know I don't normally say this... but let's all just relax." I put my hand on Sam's.

"I agree..." I close my eyes, taking deep breaths, trying to forget what just happened.
