Silence as thick as the smoke hung in the air as thoughts continued to race through Sabeline’s mind. She did not think her vocation was rendered meaningless at the dragon’s revelations. After all, she had done a lot of good for the people of Idrelas. She had protected them, not just from monsters, but the dredges of humanity. People like The Chaos Convocation, who cared not for the pain and suffering of others.
Could she have investigated the situations further? Yes, she conceded. Their investigations were usually compiled of witness accounts from the people. It had never occurred to her to ask the monster why they might be destroying the crops or attacking the town in a rage. Maybe in some of those cases, the people she had defended had been in the wrong. She would never know now.
