For some reason the Doctor Who quote keeps playing in my head when I think of Vastor. "Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to try to find out why I have so many." -The Eleventh Doctor

Lark wasn't a magico; he wasn't a mage, and he wasn't an Emperor Beast; but he was what they should have strived to be. The people, he loved them all and they him. His lands, filled with wealth of the land and not just coin. His estate; embellished with his works of the world and the legacy he left behind. His cities, embroiled with guards everywhere and yet none can stop the tragedy. Lark, you were just a character in a story; but you truly were a heart of gold. RIP Lark.

Wait wait wait... So Trion tried to kill Lith VERY early in the book and the Mom still thinks he is a good boy? Nice to know she doesn't consider fratricide bad....
