Makoda seemed to curl in upon herself even more at his words. Another silent tear gathered and fell. Her words were soft and the acceptance in her voice told him she meant ever word she said. "Yes. To hurt, maim, and destroy. To twist, torment, and torture. That is the Ways of Darkness. If it will make you feel better, go ahead." She turned opening her eyes and reached up to lightly caress his face again. Her eyes held a gentle kindness and an understanding so complete in one so young. "I will not hate you, my Shadow Walker. It is not something I am capable of doing." In her voice could be heard the willingness to be his friend, even knowing it would always be a one sided friendship.
