The Shepherd: The Struggle For Power And Freedom
"They called him a hero, a savior, but he is neither!"
I am Lucas Lafayette Marie-Joseph Moses David Berger LaVoie. I used to be a soldier. But now, I am dragged into this situation.
They call themselves Fiercœurois, from Fiercœur, they asked for a savior, they found a guy who simply thinks about thoughts.
I looked at them. They said they needed my help. This country, in an upcoming civil war, tearing itself apart.
But one of them has to keep their power. Peace can't last long, everyone was scheming!
That is when I found out that they knew how to keep power. They told me: "People are sinners."
They are correct! They would do evil just to get ahead in life! You are lucky to find a good man!
Why did I fight for them? To gain power. Having virtue without power to use it is like punching the air, meaningless. I can have the purest soul, but if I can't do a single good thing, that means I'm evil! Better to hide an iron fist under a velvet glove than offer a woman flowers but be unable to love her!
I have done many things that will make heroes and villains kneel down to me or my compatriots. I shouted compassion, hatred, loyalty and treason.
And I will tell you myself. I am Proud of it! I am not American for now
Revolution... Sometimes it's either a shadow or a scream
This is not an apology. This is not redemption. It is a journey. After all, a life can be a journey itself.
This is my life. I am proud of it. I don't care if you hate me for the things I did.
Where does Fiercœur come from? Fier - proud, Cœur - heart.
Observe carefully, receiver of my message. There is something too little understand: sometimes, kindness is cruelty, and cruelty is kindness. This is more bitter than hemlock.
