<span class="mu-g">”You are wrong.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”No fool, <span class="mu-i">you</span> are wrong. Cruelty IS Kindness. Cruelty is the kindness of the strong. Can you even imagine what kind of hellish world would exist under your principles? Every living thing has a chance to grow into an adult; no matter how wretched or malformed- and every time they would lose. All of them would get their chance and be defeated, again and again, by the strong. The strong would take their food from their, their women, their territory- and time and time again the weak and malformed and ugly and wrongful will lose again and again. They'll cry out about how unfair the world is; through no fault or action can they take to actually reverse the simple, immutable set of circumstances of how and what they were born as. And then you come in- your absolute, self absorbed ignorance of the truth- and you'd sit with the boy and say to him- “You know the other children don't play with you, and ignore you, and think you're weak and weird and stare at the blank spots on your head? Well- I let you experience that. You'd be dead if it wasn't for me. I was so kind to let you live, wretched little ugly thing.” That is the truth of your “kindness”. Your kindness is the greatest cruelty of all. The straight-backed and the tall and the beautiful and the smart and the disciplined will always defeat the weak and malformed and ugly and stupid and pathetic- end them now. Stomp them as a little baby, crush their heads on the stones, and their spirit will sing with <span class="mu-i">relief</span> of the suffering you have spared them. That is <span class="mu-i">kindness</span>. Cruelty is kindness.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”You are evil.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”And you're out of arguments. So am I- you <span class="mu-i">will</span> administer this abortion or else I'll drop you as my student. Every single Hegemony doctor can and will administer an abortion. You will do so as well. Get out of my sight and don't come back until it is done.”</span>
Damn him! Asshole!
He put the ultimatum on you now. Ever since you started learning from Maktana, you felt like you were doing great things. You healed people in your village. You gave them medical advice- as limited as you could- and you genuinely helped a lot of people. Some people looked at you like some kind of sorcerer... but now this. When you were younger, you always heard the Star-King and the Star-Men were like Gods- almost perfect and flawless, just better then your own people in any way. More merciful, more beautiful, and much more powerful. But now, you think they're just as flawed and nasty as your own people. Maybe even moreso- but some nagging part of you thinks that is only because they're so much more advanced then you, they've figured out even more ways to be nasty.
What are you going to do now?
