Edgar smiled darkly at Guy's statement. Simply letting a madman run unopposed wasn't his style, and it was a comfort to find someone else who shared that sentiment. "We certainly won't. I know I, for one, will be taking advantage of all the resources available. Letting Landel go unchallenged as he tortures and brainwashes people, my allies or not? If I were to give up the fight, I might as well be dead."

He slipped his hand into his sling, retrieving his journal carefully and setting it on the table before turning to a blank page. He found his pen, uncapping it with his teeth. "And that's why I don't plan on giving up. Getting away from this place is important- there are people who depend on me back home- but even if I had the chance to leave this very instant, I don't think I could do it in good conscience. Not as long as Landel is in power."
