Laying on my bed, I keep remembering the words of Draconis this afternoon. Light and dark magic is like a rose and the stem. People like the rose because it is fragile and beautiful, just like light magic.
And people don't want the stem because it is ugly due to its thorns, just like the dark magic. People are scared of things that are slightly different. Of things that are stronger.
I wonder, is that true? Is dark magic really not that bad? I know I always knew that people who practiced dark magic might not be bad, but the magic itself is what seems bad.
But according to Draconis, it might not be all that bad.
I guess he is living proof that dark magic is not all that bad. And dark magicians aren't too bad either. There are just bad people like that wicked Hazen Draco whom Erik fought against. People like that are the reason why dark magic and dark magicians are shunned.
