"Your talents are well missed within our profession."

These words do not convince me. Are there not many that can open a door, a wooden box? Are there not many that can balance poison and metal?

"That teach..."

Ah. Teach. What use is a teacher if none come to him for training? Because I am a Cleric, I cannot teach the path of the Rogue? Did I suddenly lose my ability to mix poisons? Did my hands forget the touch and weight of a dagger? Do they no longer remember how to weave it through air, silent and deadly?

She tells me the profession lacks my skills, I disagree. It is not the profession that misses my skills, it is the people that do not want them.

I do not blame the populace. I was once a very wicked man. Many still see me as such, there is no changing their minds.

I teach those that are willing to listen, but I do not seek students any longer.

Threnody Nyx. Cenny Konxovar. Achelle Olytro.

These are the only ones I shall take to the temple, until there is another worthy of their skill and dedication to their craft (Even if two of the three have changed professions).
