Being "Common"

Easy Dominic. Be easy. Choice is different from having good choices. I would humbly put you to Mother Mariles's story at the Gaian Mass on paths taken and what they appear to be. It's too long to place here comfortably but please seek her and ask for her Mass Story from the most recent feast.

Dominic,
Let me start by saying I don't care if you like me. I don't care if you respect me. What I care about is the common people of this age. I care if they go "we don't want to learn."

As to your village being destroyed I apologize. However after all of that happened you could have stayed elsewhere. You didn't have to come here to learn more. You could have moved to say..Kormyre and lived there. You could have went to another village. But you didn't. You came here to learn to be uncommon. You may not have had a choice in the beginning of your journey. But you did have choices to leave the life that you started with and you chose not to take the path of the common man.

So you can't say you are uncommon for having a tragic past. I have heard many common men tell me of their tragic pasts as a priest. They still became common men. So don't go saying that having a tragic past forces you to be uncommon. There are plenty of cases that say otherwise.

In truth,
Merikh
Priest of Glamachis, Teacher, Friend

Respectfully, do you mean Mother Maralas?

Their you go again thinking you know how it all played out. Let me say now that I have become increasingly irritable lately so I may be prone to.... excited words. Now as was about to say.....

You don't truly know my past and quite frankly I don't give a damn about your opinion anymore. I would suggest you stop talking about any choice you "think" I might have had because let me tell you now your wrong. I have looked at every angle, went over every detail over a thousand times within my mind over these long years in Travanse and I could not have done a single thing differently know matter how you look at it. So please, if you don't mind being quite and quit judging my past and making assumptions, we can all leave this peacefully.

Have temperance. For words can cut far deeper than any steel and leave wounds that no healer can mend.

Yes, thank you Valentine. My pen seemed to reject her name no matter what I did.
