The Inspection

On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.

Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.

Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.

"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.

"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."

Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.

[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.

The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.

[He didn't, he just has these freakouts fairly often.]

...What does a sword have to do with it...?

It is a metaphor. It is merely to say that you cannot have strength without pain. You will grow stronger, if you do not break.

...I don't want to be stronger. I don't like... being strong.

Weakness is not a virtue to aspire to. In your case, it seems you do not have the luxury of it.

But the stronger I am, the more I can hurt people.
nibelungvalesti: (considering a thing)

Just because you 'can' do something does not mean you 'must'. If you cannot stop yourself from hurting others, even if you do not want to hurt them, then you do not have true strength. Only power.
corruptedsouls: (And if you put the time in)

...Then... I want strength. I don't want power...

If you understand that, you have learned something many people never do.

It is easy to strike out with power to try to remake the world. Most people use it for that purpose. Far harder is not to strike.

...I don't like hurting anyone. I don't wanna remake anything. I just... want to not hurt people.

You have been given the power to hurt people, now you must gain the strength not to use it.
