The chaos is ongoing. The screams and shouting of anger continue in the square.
The sound of people beating each other, the Avengers shouted threats and the Magus hurling magic all could be seen by Azul.
But Azul also had hardened his heart, the moment he decided to step out. He had hoped that Zinar would step out. Since he saw her among the crowd, he had hoped she would step out
Because this is as much is her dream as it is his.
This is what he talked about with Tyr and Zinar a long time ago. Of their wish to create a new and a better world.
In that world there will be no Reaping, no more unnecessary war that taxes the peasant and the common folks.
It was a dream….but now unintentionally, today, at this day of the Reaping, this is that first step.
A rebellion against the Empire and the Church of Thonos.
Tyr was a peasant but he talks about this idea of supplanting the Empire authority and power with bravery.
