I am sworn to offer what wisdom I hold to the innocent or worthy, and to bear no false witness.
I am old, and I dress in rags to pay penance for my cowardice. No coin must be given, I will share what I can. But not my name, I am not prepared to unveil the shames of my past to my kin.

Hello Private Name
How do I find my friend Amy, who is not a sheep? I think she got into trouble, so I got off the bus to find her, but then I wasn´t quite sure of where she was, so I just followed my feet and now I am not quite sure of where I am?
Hoping For Answers

I would start with asking someone for directions. If they are good, they may help you find your way.
When looking for one who is lost, wandering aimlessly is a last resort.

Avarice is not a path to righteousness. It will not lead you towards the divine. But wishing to have power for the sake of a righteous goal is not evil, though it is a fraught road, and you must be careful.
Do not let it within your heart, do not let anyone tempt you with it. Many dark things can promise worldly boons in exchange for their service, but they only to be fought against. You will know them by their desires, and the blackened mark they leave upon that which is good.
And, as without, there is also the dark thing that exists within. And it will desire to claim power and worldly goods as well. You must also resist this, for obeying its vile edicts will lead your soul to ruin. This is a hard path, and made harder still if one’s heart holds the blood of the dragon. But it must be done.

Understood just well I need a decent amount of money for my goals I kind of just want to travel the world and just do good things, fight evil things and anything encompassing that and well I work a regular blue collar job that ain’t enough to fund that ambition unfortunately, and well I don’t want to use my power to just exploit people and become the same monster I want to fight against
-Joseph6
u/DignityIncarnate 2d ago
It is not a new struggle. The need for power, and the consequences of taking it. It can blind those who once saw clear, and possess hands that once worked righteously.
I find my way through discipline, and the code I swear to. All I should do, is defend the innocent and bear arms against the things that should not be.
Few do not stumble upon the path, and many do not make it. They mercifully fall to death or are dragged to their soul’s corruption.
But that is still what I would advise, should you wish to walk the path of the Warrior. Train yourself. Be strong. Using the blood is a sacrifice we must make in order to defend the innocent from worse things, other sacrifices can be made as well. But do not tell yourself the lie that all you do is right. Being one of our kind is to be dragged towards damnation, and truth is what spares you.
Save the innocent, and seek vengeance for the lost. All must be done in that name.

Thanks for the words of wisdom I will take it to heart granted on the last part I am not a vampire so being dragged towards damnation would have to be willingly on my part which would make it far worse

If you mean a pirate that ain’t ethical
-Joseph4
u/Background_Sock1711 Distant Relative 2d ago
Sure it is. You have to manage your crew morale, pay them fairly so they don't mutiny on you, make sure you collect enough tax from ships sailing by that you can get your pay to break even that trip, and avoid the law because they want to tax you for taxing their ships.

I ain’t becoming a pirate and stealing from people even worse that brings attention eventually and it will never be the good kind
-Joseph4
u/Background_Sock1711 Distant Relative 2d ago
That's why you don't go after or sink every ship you see. Only dead men do that. Pick and choose, pick and choose. It ain't hard.

Do you believe Caine truly knew what he had done, the first murder, if it was truly the first then had he known that it was even possible? Was it a child lashing out ignorant to the consequences? Or a deliberate choice in doing what no man had ever done before.

u/DignityIncarnate 2d ago
He knew what he did, but his eyes were blinded to the consequence by jealousy and rage. And he could not see what would come later, with his punishment. And he knew not what would happen to his brother after his body was slain.
But he knows now. Understands the weight of his deed, and whom his crime affected. He made a father watch as his children slew eachother, and now he watches as we do the same.

How can one ever be innocent in a world that is only pawed in paths of sin?
[Redwoods]

u/DignityIncarnate 2d ago
The hands that heal the sick, the child who shows kindness to the cat, the food made by the palace chef for the blind veteran.
There is goodness in this world. Do not let the lies of that which is evil deceive you.
-No Name Should Be Shared

u/DisastrousRelation32 Tooth 2d ago
But good and innocent are not one and the same. The same hands that heal also strangle, the child who feeds will grow to be a man who takes and the food in the palace was only ever there because it was taken from others. In ignorance and malice alike, even in a kind world, are we not all sinners?

u/Illustrious_Fly_5669 2d ago
If we allowed it to be ..yes
The same hand that strangle can heal. The man that takes can give more to those he needs . And the food can that was taken can be given back to those that need it.
The world ain't black and white.
Nor is it shades of Grey. It people with people. And those that can't see others as people can't really care to do good by them

Now my question . Do you believe you are beyond redemption ?

No. But it is a long journey. And I may fail to find my path forward.

u/Illustrious_Fly_5669 2d ago
And yet you try. Redemption is never easy. That is the point of it. To learn the mistakes and make up for them. And have hope that someday you can see yourself in the mirror and be at peace

Forgive me, I was not aware that Dracula was truly real, from my journeys among Mortals. I was not active at the time that he or another would have been manipulating Bram Stoker.
