Cedar, Of the Forest

Predaphase
"' You think you feel pain? Every single goddamn person in these lands either gain satisfaction from killing, or at least feel nothing. It's different with me. I wish I could feel nothing. Every one out of the three-hundred-and-eighty-seven I felt. As my blade pierced through the flesh and tore through the threads of life of whatever poor bastard I had to kill -- I felt a pain. I looked into their eyes and saw their life. Their loved ones, their family, their friends. All of it. And it hurt, Alex. It really hurt. Depending on the circumstance it could be a searing, or a freezing or a shocking sensation. Whatever it was, it hurt. '"-Cedar confronting Alex
