"Perhaps I can tell you more about him while we're here. I can share any number of stories from when he was just a lad. It does hurt to remember that he's gone, but we can still speak of the past. Of the good times, and let you get to know him better in this way."
He paused as he considered the question. In a sense, the answer to that was obviously yes. After all, despite the bad decisions he'd made over the years. He had done good things. His intentions may have not always been the best, but he has helped people over the years just as much as he's harmed them. Another quiet sigh escaped.
"I won't lie. You can do good things with dark magic, but you can also do bad things with light magic as well. It's a tricky slope using magic. Magic is addicting, and it can be costly. You can use it to do wonderful things, to save lives, to end wars. I thought I could turn the power the Darkness toward good, to do good things with it. I ended the war that threatened all the lives of the children from the Frontlands. However, I lost my way. I listened to the voice and I fell into its trap.. and people went from hailing me as a hero, to fearing me and considering me a monstrous villain."
