“Often whoever or whatever is right depends simply on whoever or whatever is stronger.” The victors write the history, didn’t they? They decided what was the truth, what was good and bad. She’d seen that for herself time and again. Morals rarely had anything to do with right or wrong. Right, more often than not, came down to whatever benefited those in power.

“It’s all a matter of prospective, really. I try to do what’s right, but that might still hurt someone else.” Either because they got in the way, or they were on the wrong end of whatever that right was. She didn’t often bother with such thoughts. They would go in an endless circle in her head and she’d have no more answers than when she started. It was pointless.

“I fight for my people. For my king, yes, but mostly my people.” And her own glory, of course, but that was lesser. Her people came first. “Nothing is black and white. Right or wrong. They’re naught but pretty words, when it comes down to it.”

“When it also comes down to it, all fighting does is avoid the problems, and usually all it does is cause more.” Not to say that Ky hadn’t done his fair amount of fighting, but it was different than simply that. He would willingly let himself lose control in the fray of things if it meant that he didn’t have to deal with the after effects of coming down from that high.

Of course, it was rare that he ever allowed himself to go out on a rampage, and when he did? It never ended up well for anyone… especially himself, “Either way, I doubt i’ve ever fought for what was right. At least to most perspectives.” 

Rather, it was that he fought for what he wanted, and almost always came out the victor as failure wasn’t a choice nor was it an option. It never could be one due to the fact he wasn’t willing to deal with any of his family’s scrutiny afterwards ( or at least wha the would get from failure ).
