[pnpgm] Game update #120 - File #914 - Trouble in Pamau

[Tobie Bonahoom]

Fremea, not having seen everything at first, to what then happened with the fire tornado's, just looks around in a mostly aghast and semi-frightened stare. As she sees kids lying dead and burned and some injured she is not sure which direction to go for a second. Then her survival skills kick back in, with all that she has gone through in her childhood and that so many kids can be caught in the cross fire of angry adults. She looks for Raban and moves to him, at the same time giving instructions. "Quickly, we do not have the means to help these people ourselves, however we can make sure they get help. As my father has taught me, find the nearest soldier station and get them to here quickly. As I can not run as fast, you will have to carry me today." This comes out quickly and with an authority she almost realizes is hers.

As Raban picks her up and starts to move out of the mess and possible bigger mess, she reflects on her place in all this. To protect children as best she can from the destruction of adults who are supposed to know more than them, she also realizes that nothing she did back there could save any of them right now, as she noticed the eyes from both sides watching. Her training may not have been something she wanted, however it is something that has saved her many times now. Though she may look like a child here, she truly has grown up in short time. She knows that many of those that survive will grow up to be even bigger haters of magics and to do anything directly would only bring worse hate later, so she will figure out a way to change things indirectly. Once she has dealt with her her own past and no longer has to look over her shoulder.

          Raban just stares in shock once the stampede of humanity is
      past. How can both sides be right and wrong? Being a Mage is no
      real crime, it is how it is used that should determine that. But
      here they would have executed the innocent children because of the
      parents. Yet to save those innocents the parents die while killing
      those in the crowds whose only crime was to watch? To kill so
      recklessly just for a distraction is the act of a Monster or
      perhaps someone of Chaos who uncaring is still a Monster for such
      an act! Their actions just prove to the people that magic is evil
      as they do not see any good use when such horror covers it up.
      Fought this way such atrocities will never end. Were the others
      right, was an easy death for the children better than a rescue
      when such methods are used?

           Raban realizes now that his own attempt to save the children
      would likely have gone as poorly. Would it have been right to hurt
      or kill all the guards or stupid people who tried to prevent it?
      Their punishment was wrong but here there seems to be no right
      anymore.

          Worse, they were expecting such actions. The whole thing was
      bait to draw in more! So were the ones watching from the edges,
      for or against magic? Were they watching to find new recruits or
      to mark those who were not opposed to magic users? Obviously it
      was both! They watch to determine friends or foes to come. To
      recruit aid for the resistance as well as new people in horror of
      magic who will become fanatics to eradicate it. These 'mages'
      could not have done things worse for their cause, do they not
      understand that?

      

          Hearing the woman crying for his help, Raban turns and looks
      down at her with tears in his eyes, "No, you do not want my help.
      Katai may be beyond anyone's help because it does not believe in
      what is real. This is the reality. If you try to kill someone,
      they may be able to defend themselves and strike back. The ones
      you kill that do not resist were the ones who could have saved
      you. Now you face the ones who will fight and that will occur much
      more often, it may even become a war as you
      have been killing the ones who would
      have stopped them. I am sorry for all of you, all of Katai, as it
      is Katai's own doing that has caused this."

      

          Following that, he turns and looks for Fremea, this place is a
      trap, all who tend to others will be watched.

          "Lin Mong, we must leave. This place is not safe for anyone."

      

      <A bit too much drama queen? This was a bad scene for Poor
      Raban, nothing he could do would improve things. Even healing
      someone would only get them killed later as being 'Tainted'
