You no longer speak of your old friends, your Council, your home. I fear that you are forgetting them, and forgetting your reason for coming here.” Hunter sighed. “It’s difficult to talk about them, they don’t belong here. Anyway, I thought you wanted me to give up my old life. Congratulations, you’ve won.” The Abate smiled sadly. “Perhaps I did, I wanted you to abandon your violent past and adopt our ways. But I see that you are giving up everything and taking on nothing. What are you afraid of George? .K.S. Marsden
About This Quote
A long time ago, a guild called The Order of Death Knights was a massive thing. It was founded on the idea of being a group of people who had been through hell and back, and had more scars than they could count. They covered themselves in scars from their past, but they didn’t hold any grudges against anyone. In fact, they were friendly to everyone.
They held no authority over anything, but instead worked together with other guilds to bring peace to the world. Meanwhile, the main antagonist of the story is a dangerous man known as The Abate. The Abate sees this organization as a threat and tries to get everyone to join him in his plans for world domination. This quote shows how people can change through adversity and that you should embrace new opportunities rather than walk away from old ones.
