There's something I've been thinking about for a while so I hope all of you will be patient enough to indulge me.

A good deal of fantastic and seemingly-impossible things happen in this place, ranging from all of us raising dragons to encountering killer plants like ones out of an old horror movie. I know that I don't just speak for myself when I say that a lot of the things we encounter here simply don't happen where I'm from... In fact one could even call all of it downright impossible and against the laws of nature and physics! I mean, the moons changing us into animals? Some mysterious space society that we've "mysteriously" encountered right when they need our help? It almost sounds like a video game!

Which brings me to the question I'd like to pose to all of you...

How do you know that any of this is reality?

sure that’s neat and all and i admire people who have it. Sometimes that’s what drives a person to do what they need, but it can also drive a person mad. Logic and hope sometimes don’t work well together and you have to listen to one or the other, sadly. Like, for instance, if there was a scenario where someone had to die— there’s no way to save them both. Hope doesn’t work in that situation, you just have to accept that one person must die. Or i guess the happier way to think about it, you have to choose who to save.

Why can't you have hope in the face of death? If someone is going to die then it's just because they don't hold enough hope within themselves so the outcome can't be helped. The only sin would be not using that person's death as a stepping stone to inspire those that lived into striving for an even brighter future.

If only it was that simple.

If only hope cured everything.

I want to believe that.

You clearly aren't hopeful enough. What a shame.
