Every Life I Save This Night

They say love is greater than hate. That in the end love will always overpower it no matter how strong or dark or powerful hate or anger or evil is. I suppose that depends on the hate, on how evil you perceive it to be. Everything is circumspect, everything can be questioned and yet, of all the years I lived and all the things I�ve seen, I suppose, if I was asked what was greater than hate, stronger then love and would most certainly outlast religion, I guess I�d go with hope. Hope, for good, bad or anything in between has more power than anything else. Hope, the belief that maybe, just maybe what you desire will come to pass will drive others to do things you�d never believe, crazy things, outrageous things. Hope, even the tiniest bit- can be the difference between living and dying and this girl, with her pretty eyes and snowy pelt, hell, she could probably do with a bit of hope. A bit of anything really. So young and so lost. I don�t know her, I�ve never met her but it doesn�t mean I don�t understand what it is to lose. I�ve lived alone for a long time, I can�t say why, not really, I suppose maybe I figure living this way makes it hard to lose anything really- but I�m not exactly a young man anymore. This girl.....she�s no more than a child and already her voice sounds like a haunted whisper, like she�s already giving up. I stayed where I was, chocolate eyes watching her own with a tilt of my head, ears flicking forward, or what was left of them- to catch her words once more. Well, maybe she does hope....for something.

�That depends on exactly what, or who, you waiting for. I wouldn�t give up just yet. Life always surprises us. Who were they? The ones you waited for once?�

Parents? Siblings? Pack? It didn�t matter I suppose and I�m not even sure why I asked, to be polite, just to talk for a few moments and offer something to the girl in white. I am Moladion�s guardian, protector of those who cannot protect themselves, yet that doesn�t always mean I must protect them from something physical. Being a hero doesn�t mean I need to run in sword blazing and attack all in sight. Maybe this girl just needs a moment, a word, an ear and hey, I�ve got the time tonight just to be for a few moments before I move on, to be forgotten I am sure and yet I�ve come to terms with that. I don�t need songs and statues. I don�t need kingdoms and crowns. Just one step, one at a time, one life, one at a time and even if all I do this night is make her smile, just once, then so be it. I did something. She turned to look into the water, speaking gently once more before her head twisted in the pallor of the moon to look upon my well-worn form once more, dark eyes finding her own yet again.

�I�m Iblis and, for what it�s worth, I do think there is a future for you out there. Depends how much you want to find it. May I hear your name now? Or would you rather play the Mysterious Lady, hmm?�
