It's never over (2)

I'm tired of thinking. Every time, I forget something. Like now: I thought I was safe with my magic, but I can't parry a sword with it.

It might not even have been a trap. Maybe they are lucky, and I'm a fool.

Regardless, when the few guards loyal from the Church charge towards me, these idiots, I'm without weapons. Those neutral stay out of this magic battle and gasp in surprise but don't interfere. Their reaction won't save my life. As for those attacking...

What reason do they have to kill me? This will bring them more harm than not. But, also, does it matter?

I don't want to die just yet. I need to bring up Lars like a real gentleman. And there's so much I want to do with and to Ignis. It's too early to just disappear.

At least, with this, the last bit of benevolence we have towards the Church will disappear. No one will stop Ignis from levelling their Temples with the ground.
