I wish to return home.

[The voice was slightly filtered because it came from the external speakers on his helmet but it was still easily intelligible, if accented awkwardly.]

Yes, yes, it is most likely not possible. I don't even have to ask that as a question but my wish still stands.

It's just everyone here is so.... [disgusting, gross, ignorant, red blooded] ....human. Among gue'la, there is no place for someone of the Fire Caste. Too peaceful, too ignorant, you stare too much.

A sword that is broken can still cut but...

...what should I do?

[He slowly realized that rather than using this to complain, he was pleading for help instead, which made him a little mad. Which caused him to shut off the feed.]

"While I can't really say much about humans as a whole, I am going to assume from the sword comment that the Fire Caste is a warrior caste? Perhaps if you can find a few more you can use that to aide people on the 13th hour?"

[video]

[greatergone]

That would be an accurate translation. But even if I do something like that, what benefit does it bring?

[electricyousei]

"Fewer harmful monsters means the civilian population is safer, a safer civilian population is more likely to embrace you as one of their own. It also provides training in dealing with threats that are common to this world and it may possibly carry over to your own world. Its not a perfect idea, but it does aid the greater whole more than doing nothing."

....I've already fought worse than what is present here. [Which means he's been there in that 13th Hour.]

I do have a duty to eliminate the threats that are in front of me but... the violence. Warriors never belong with others. If you become too good at it, even other warriors will shun you. More fighting will not make things even seem better.

"Then you are saying you don't know how not to be a warrior, but are afraid of becoming a monster?"

[His silence on the matter is pretty revealing.]

[video]

[electricyousei]

"I've found that those who fight for something greater but attainable retain their sanity far better than those who fight to fight, or fight for unattainable goals. That being said, not all aspects of war are combat."

[video]

[greatergone]

And what makes a goal obtainable or unobtainable? Is a goal that is easily achieved even worth being called a goal at all?

[video]

[electricyousei]

"The end of a conflict is attainable, the end of all conflict is not attainable."

Re: [video]

[greatergone]

Neither of those is my duty. That kind of thing is best left to the Water Caste.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"What was your duty then?"

Re: [video]

[greatergone]

To do what the Ethereals tell me. Or the Shas'o.

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Are there any Ethereals or Shas'o here?"

[video]

[greatergone]

No.

[If there was an Ethereal, his attitude would be absolutely different.]

[video]

[electricyousei]

"Is there any local class that could simulate one?"

[video]

[greatergone]

Not an Ethereal, no. I suppose an equivalent of our Shas'o would be a human General.
