Interview with the Protectors–Question One:
“Why did you become a Protector?”
Tully: . . . I felt a need to give back to Tarith, which sheltered me in my youth…
Krysta (interrupting and pointing): To get girls. That’s what he told me when we first met.
Tully: HA! You joined because you wanted to beat up that one guy…what’shisname.
Sedge: I wanted to find those responsible for the death of my family, friends, and village, and make them pay.
Krysta: Too bad you’re kind of a jerk.
Sedge: Don’t make me angry.
Tully: Krysta, you pick a lot of fights…really, I think that’s the reason you joined.
Krysta (elbows Tully and glares at Sedge).
Falcourt: A Protector is elite. We have money, power, and status. Anyone can join (focuses a stare at Krysta and Tully) but only the powerful remain.
Tully: You wanted girls too. I heard you.
Krysta: What? I thought he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps…
Dalwin: Let’s continue! I wanted to heal others and Protectors are always getting hurt…win-win.
Krysta: You like us getting hurt? That’s pretty twisted for a healer.
Tully: You think that’s twisted, don’t you think he gives extra pain when he’s healing?
Dalwin: Don’t be ridiculous. I’ve never even killed anyone. Sedge sends enough visitors to the healing tent that I’m quite busy.
Sedge: . . .
Daniel: My uncle is the General, why should I explain myself to you?
Krysta: Listen to the kid, he thinks that he’s already higher in rank…
Tully: When do we have another sparring session, I need some exercise
Falcourt: You should watch your manners before your seniors.
Sedge: We done?
