Doubt.

Not mine. Theirs.

I know my course is true, my actions are right, my thoughts are pure - but they doubt.

They will always doubt.

Once a Shark always a Shark.

If they only knew how little I resemble the man before the Fire. If they could only witness the edge of darkness that it brought me to. Then they would know the fear that is within me. The fear that drives me to be better.

The Fear of being Alone.

She had it right. The Rogue, Sehdae. She said I would die alone, and I know the words to be true. It is only a matter of time until it happens. Until then, I strive. I work hard in renovating the guild hall, I push others to become better. I, myself, become better each passing night. I haven't conned someone since I became a Cleric. Even then, it was hardly a con. Akassa was the best option for my changing, and while I would never admit it, she wasn't chosen on accident.

For now, that is all.
