"Let's bet on what the Blade's true nature is. Is he a vampire or a homunculus after all? Or, unexpectedly for everyone... a hamster? Does he carry food home, and there, hidden from prying eyes, confident that no one will bother him at this delicate moment, does he quietly nibble away? But no, that would be interesting, but I'm still betting on a vampire."
-- The Blade passed by while we were working in the forge. It's hardest for him at this moment, you can understand... But I still have something to tell you over a cup of tea. To summarize. I want to tell you that you, all of you gathered here, are true heroes, and no one and nothing can take that away from you. Most villains have no concept of honor or conscience. They will never give you a break. They will never play by the rules. Even if there is no benefit to them in such behavior, they will try to harm not only their enemies, but anyone else as much as possible.
-- Therefore, don't you dare take even a tiny bit of responsibility for their villainy, it's absurd. If you expected a different, better outcome for us... Well, that's life, you could say that in some ideal conditions, things would be better. But it could have been the opposite, many times worse. A hero is not someone who, with a wave of his hand, turns the world into an ideal place where pink pegasi run along the rainbow, rivers of milk flow, and pies grow right on the trees, people never fight, and everyone sings songs about love. No, that will never happen. There will always be a share of harsh realism, and a very significant share.
-- A hero is someone who... is not afraid to get his hands dirty for the sake of his ideals, and first of all, with his own blood. Someone who is ready to save at least someone, even if he cannot save everyone. This concept should be well known to you.
-- Well, how long are we going to stand around? -- Erefir said after a pause. -- Let's get started.
