honour

Written by: Galdrion Longshanks, Halcyon's Wolf

There has ever been a long debate over what constitutes honour. When someone declares war upon you, when you are in a state of war, you are fighting at all times for your friends, for what you believe in, for your very life. If I were walking down the street and attacked someone I have never met, this would certainly be a "dishonourable" act. If I were at war with that person, and fought and killed them, by whatever means necessary, where is the lack of honour in this?
If I declared war on my good friend Maran, or my good friend Halo, (Gaia forbid either of these) should I refrain from using my grove to battle them? Should I use only my powers in hyena morph to ensure that I wasn't being dishonourable? The whole idea is ridiculous.
War is war: all out, whatever it takes, all the time. It seems when any of us are on the winning side, what WE do has a lot more honour.
Galdrion, of the Honourable Longshanks family.

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Valnuary, in the year 236 AF.
