Friends?

Addressed to: Acolyte Yuniko, Apprentice of Nil
As Magnagora has proved time and again, and you along with them Yuniko,
their citizens are only "friends" to their self-interests. What Andes
offered, and continues to offer Erion as do I, is a friendship that
surpasses the conditions and demands of the taint and its kind -- that
sees past what someone can do for us to who that person truly is inside.
A light burns in us all. You can try to cover it with the shadow of your
actions, you can try to snuff it out with the wind from your voice
declaiming its existence as we often see Erion do on this very board,
but it can not be extinguished.
The first conciousness...was a spark. And we see it in Erion. And even
in you, dear Yuniko. Even after all you have both done.
May the light of Raziela touch you both with the realization that
forgiveness, though not ours to give, is yours to have if you would only
seek it out.
Through reformation or death, may you both be reborn.
Penned by my hand on the 18th of Estar, in the year 109 CE.
