I didn't know what to do.

I wanted....I wanted to stop everyone. To help everyone. But instead I just stood there.

...why were they attacking? That can't be something that happens often. There must have been hundreds...and they got past the guards at the elevators.

[Have some frustrated silence, Demeleier. Med'an's hero instincts seem to be bothering him quite a bit right now.]

Do I have to choose a side to be on?

I say, those are heavy thoughts for such a young mind. Perhaps if I understood what you were speaking of, I could help?

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

[Young mind over here sighs. He knows, they're hurting his brain. 8( ]

Where you there for the fight at Undercity?

[proff-treacle.livejournal.com]

Since I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm going to say no. Please explain?

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

The Guardian was able to open a portal to the Undercity - on Azeroth, where I'm from. But the Undercity is Horde territory, and the Alliance attacked while we were there...

[ 8( ]

I'm neither Horde nor Alliance. [...] So I didn't...know what to do.

[ Melusine is no stranger to war. She's no stranger to feelings such as those, either. Stop reminding her of herself asdfsbkgbsdf ]

Sometimes...sometimes you just have to stand back and let things run their course.

Med'an: /wibbles ;~;

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

[so much for evil beastman, huh :p]

But I have the power to stop it. I mean...

[Well, he...thinks he does. Maybe. He's not sure.]

I'm supposed to protect people.

[That part he does know!]

/peeeets and gives cookies to cheer up?

[wyvern-guardian.livejournal.com]

[ If it wasn't obvious before, it is now: Melusine is speaking from experience, and it isn't a good one. 8< ]

...we all do. We all have the power to do something. But sometimes, no matter how hard we want to protect others...sometimes we can do nothing, no matter how hard we try. And sometimes we must do nothing.

But don't lose hope, Med'an. A-And...don't be so hard on yourself.

[Spoken with a small, thoughtful frown.]

Choosing 'sides' in any war is a pointless - if understandable - exercise. It is better to fight for the good of the people, for peace. Anything else will only see fighting - needless fighting - drag on without end.

YAY DADDY uncle schnitzel with noodles will suffice too

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

That's what I think, too! But I - I don't know. I just....I froze up.

he tries, little guy, he tries

[akingmuststand.livejournal.com]

[His voice is sympathetic, full of understanding.]

Who could begrudge you such an action? The circumstances are difficult even for the most seasoned - inaction may be seen as a lack of merit for the most part, but in this? It is a willingness to do what is right, not to force oneself into an ill-fitting yoke...

Do not punish yourself over what happened. Put your conviction behind what you believe, regardless of what others think that should be.

[audio] :'D

[Oh so terse.]

The Alliance are a band of betrayers who care for nothing but their own gain. They came here to slay us, the armed and the innocent - surely the choice is clear?

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Med'an recalls his history lessons - or more like his political happenings lessons, since it wasn't too long ago that the blood elves split from the Alliance. She would be terse about it - but then he pushes on.]

But the orcs invaded the humans' land and slaughtered the draenei in Outland. [and quickly without pause - ] I know that they were taken by the Burning Legion. And the humans afterward enslaved them in camps - which isn't right - but now both parties keep the feud going through old hatreds, even with the Burning Legion defeated. The high elves practiced magic even though it was forbidden by the night elves, but the night elves themselves were too narrow minded and sequestered themselves from the world. The Forsaken are feared by humans because they're undead - which is understandable even if it's not merited - but they were doing things down in those tunnels.

[Yeah, he saw the cages. 8( ]

It seems like the gnomes and dwarves, and the tauren and trolls, are on their sides because of honor and blood-debt, not for any real reasons to dislike each other. [And finally a pause.]

...I'm not sure why the draenei are allied with the humans. Because of the orcs, I guess.

[Another pause. Draenei and orcs. You can see why that would bug him, right :( ]

[video] son stop giving your dad logic, he cannae take it

[bloodforlight.livejournal.com]

[She is silent, seething, even if she knows the truth of everything he says.]

The Alliance betrayed my people. They turned their back on us. The Draenei may -

[Well, they're a bit of a grey area now. She trails off lamely, sighing.]

[ audio ]

[sunstormed]

While there are ...some with merits, they came into the city with the intent to do harm and murder. I would imagine it is not easy choosing a side, but...

[And he awkwardly trails off.]

[ audio ]

[bloodforlight.livejournal.com]

[LEAPS ON THIS SO INTENSELY.]

Some with merits? Spoken like a true ambassador! And just which 'some' would those be, Duibhin?

[ audio ]

[sunstormed]

As if you haven't befriended some within the Argent Crusade, Aureln! There are neutral parties to be had. Those who attacked obviously were not a part of that!

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

Haven't the Horde gone into Alliance cities with that intent?

[sunstormed]

And at those times the Alliance attacked in the same manner.

[audio] man those gd bickering elves

[Like mindedness is go.]

Choosing a side shouldn't be easy. If it is - if choosing like that is simple for someone, then I'd consider that to be something wrong.

seriously man medan is going to cry and then they will feel horrible

[shamagaladin.livejournal.com]

....

I feel like I'm in the middle. [nyooo ;~; ]

The only ones I do know that I don't like are demons. [And then an awkward silence. Because DRAENEI ARE KIND OF DEMON ISH TOO AUUUUUGH. Angst.]

smack sense into them, med'an

[toplay-thefool.livejournal.com]

I'm not from Azeroth, and I don't know anything about it. I assume that there is a reason for the war, and a reason why you feel as though you're in the middle of that -

[But I'm not going to pry into that too much, bro.

He goes quiet for a moment. Used to this kind of situation as he is, the circumstances themselves are still fairly alien.]

- if you want to help, then you can do so without fighting. You need to stand with what you think is right sometimes.

[timid_werewolf]

Sometimes you just can't choose a side...

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

.....but everyone else has one.

[soulboundhunter.livejournal.com]

[Arianthe has kept quiet, waiting for a while as the others said their piece and went. Finally, she speaks up, some time after the others have stopped. Her own voice is quiet and thoughtful.]

It can't be helped, Med'an. There has been so much hurt, lies, betrayal and outright fear. The Alliance want their home back and free of the undead. The Horde wants to keep their hard won land. And both sides, as a whole, are convinced that the other is poison. City raids happen often, on both sides. It's a cycle that not even Jaina Proudmore and Thrall could halt. Nor the threat of the Lich King, either.

The best one can hope for is to find those who do not want to take sides, but protect all. In the meantime, it is best to keep your head down and your heart hidden.

[breakin-ur-lore.livejournal.com]

[ :< He sighs.]

That's what I want. To protect all. But....I didn't know what to do. How.....to do it.

[pause.]

I've never been in such a battle before.
