Welcome to Gaia! ::

I sigh. "Maces, i seen them, no way, its not right, i mean, i don't feel like I could use one comfortably. Maybe. I need something bigger, something longer.... Like... Maybe... Hey, how about..." I look up. I felt like I needed. I look at a branch, i grab it and rip it off, then swing it in the fashion of a large weapon with a tip on it. "What are they called... I think... Spear! Thats it, how well do spears work?"

I smile. "Why yes, i am a city boy, kinda comes with the territory of being cooped up and then busting out into a city, only to have your mind wiped. I am still regaining all of my knowledge from my time with Axel, so let me be until I get it back, okay? And... I think, maybe a spear, and a shield, maybe keep a blade just for a backup? Would be useful, maybe a bit clumsy, but I am sure magic will help that." I think of the possibilities. Yes, a sword that is summoned to hand when I need it. "Yes... useful... I could very easily defend a person when I need to."

I look at him. "Not original, eh? Well, in my hands, everything is original, and besides, fire is too... Destructive... I don't like killing if at all possible to keep alive. I could incapacitate someone with a shield and spear, or sword, or gun, or hands. I still believe it is not worth killing if one can eep himself restrained and not kill, unless that person has committed some kind of unforgiving act, or wrong doing that is more than common thievery. Jairn aside, I do belive those should be left alive unless they do something wrong. Jairn, he did it, against his will, he has every reason to be kept alive since he tried and succeeded in changing that."

I just shake my head. "I am sorry, but I can not partake in killing for no reason. I have more of the views of warrior monks in the idea that incapacitation is better than killing the man who is only doing what he believes is right. I will never kill a young man who is in an army, orders given to kill me, when perhaps he does not want to. He will receive punishment in the form of trials when he gets to them, may not be a fair trial, but I will not judge. If we are talking monsters from which those whose lives have been lost by them, I am game for killing them, throw at me someone like Vincent, or Axel when he has not atoned, I am game for killing, but throw a boy of yet fifteen, has a life ahead of him, I will only cause enough pain to make sure he cannot kill a man. If you find that soft, then you may be too cruel, too sickly or the humane touch of God has left your fingers." I nod. "Now, if you will excuse me, I must go see a man about a spear."

I look after them. "They may think killing is fine, but I will not partake in it. No, I was raised against mindless bloodshed." I look down at my hands. Of course I would defend myself, and I would only attack those who attack me, but to attack someone who is being ordered to kill, could I do it? No. I will not kill, I made a promise, I can't go back on it, if I was to go back on that promise... You said you wanted to kill him, I know it! Jacky boy, tell me, tell me you won't, promise me to defend and only defend, kill only when you seriously have to, promise.. Please. "I will Father Minoa, I will only defend, only kill those that have committed atrocities. I will defend others, make those who cause pain feel pain, and kill those who kill, but I will make defending my upmost value!" I say aloud, I look around, and quickly tread to the cathedral to see the same priest about a certain spear.

I look at the big doors. I walk in with my head level, and then halt. I pay homage to the statue to the right, and then proceed to the door to the left of the statue. I look at the stout man. "Father Minoa? Its me, Jacques..." He turns from his alter and smiles. I smile back wanly. He had also been one of my caregivers, not too much unlike Axel. He opens his arms, then bows to me. I raise an eyebrow. "Um..."

"I know what you are, and since we bow to those higher than us, I must do so to you. You may not be God, but you have some form of higher stature than me. Therefore, I bow. Yes yes, I have always known, but now I can feel it. Jacky-boy, I am so proud, Axel has already told me what you intend to do, make a name for yourself my boy!" I smile again. "Ah, but enough with that, what are you here for? Blessing, you have that, money? No need for it. so what?" I point to the spear mounted on the wall. Its blunt tip perfect for what I would need, and its partner, the Shark Tooth, a shield, hanging below it. "Ah, you are ready to take up weapons? I thought you would someday, thats why I have been taking care of them. I am glad to help you grow, I really am, I am proud to have been able to call you Brother at one time too." I blush, he was a kind man. Its true I did my fair share in this old cathedral, I had been in training with him for priest hood when I figured out what I really wanted to do.

"Thanks, Father." I dip my head in respect. "I shall see to it that you are well protected in near times. I am grateful for your assistance, and wish the best of health for you." He brings the weapons to me, and sits back at his alter. I join him in one last prayer. I take lead. "Holy Father, and Jesus, will you bless those that have been right, and help those that have been wrong. I tread upon this hallowed ground, and must now set out in journey. Bless this man next to me, and keep him safe. Give him health and prosperity, and may you look out for my friends. Holy Father, you are in my heart. May all in your glory be safe on this day, and the days to come. Holy Spirit, Holy Father, and Holy Son, Amen." I stand, hug the priest once more, and set out for the road. I smile, that man was a kind man.

I walk towards the direction of the small camp, and then come upon a small group of people. They eye me, and I stop. "Hey, look at this guy, medieval knight in making, ha!" I shake my head and keep walking. They fall behind me and I sigh again. "Hey, lets see what you can do, man." I turn to face them., One blow to the chin, enough to break the jaw and render them incapacitated. Yep. They come at me, and I use the tip in a swinging motion, bringing it to his jaw. He flies backwards, and cries. The others look at me, and ditch him running. I laugh, and start walking again. Must not be part of Jairn's ex organization.
