135 Absolute truth 2 (1/2)
After several tries which did not yield any results, the attacker held his head down in shame and moved away from the scene of the interview. Everything had returned to normality and no a single player had any intention to copy the reckless behaviour of their companion.
They were glad that Moirai had not taken offence to it. Treating their interview target like this, was not something that CallMeDaddy could tolerate, as his selfish desires could implicate all of their ambition and their hard work.
He came to the conclusion that it would be for the best if he stayed away from this interview. This was a chance of a lifetime and he would not let him or anyone other ruin it for him. The robe for Moirai had quickly been replaced and following a quick apology for the acts of his member of his news team he continued the important interview session.
” Dear audience I have to apologize for the unsightly behaviour of my team. We are here to inform others not to watch the childish tantrum of a select member of my team.” He made a short bow and held his head down for a few seconds before returning to a happy tone in his voice.
” But we do not plan to keep you waiting any longer. After Moirai had replaced his old clothing, we are now finally back to answering questions everybody yearns to have an answer for. But first of all Moirai, your patience is admirable, not many would have been able to keep their composure.”
Moirai, now donning a brand new bathroom robe, appeared to be pleasantly surprised by the compliment. With a beaming smile, he begins to speak to CallMeDaddy
” Do not mention it, everyone is eager to prove themselves from time to time. Conflict is bound to occur. He is just frustrated about his current weakness. Give it some time and this feeling will turn into a desire to get stronger.”
CallMeDaddy was more and more confused about the NPC sitting right in front of him. Normally Moirai was known as an unforgiving enemy, which would kill whenever the opportunity struck. Yet currently it seemed like it was the exact opposite. It would have never missed out on getting revenge-
” Moirai, tell us more about yourself, I am sure that the audience wants to know more about humans.”
The NPC in front of him, was silent for a few seconds before the reply came. Moirai sounded a bit more solemn when he had started to speak.
” I am a mediocre at best, just like the average human, sorry if I have to disappoint you in that regard. I do not have any quality, which would put me above the other humans. Certainly, there are humans out there, who are far stronger and far more intelligent then I could ever be. But I am sure, that I can be of help in training everyone.”
CallMeDaddy was not content with the meagre knowledge he had received and he started to ask for more details.
” How would you describe the average human?”
” The average human... I would say the average human is a fairly competent creature, it certainly does not lack the skills to be considered as something less. But humans are inherently flawed. They are capable of great good but even greater evil.”
Moirai made a short pause before continuing with a serious expression on his face.
” The duality of men is not something, which can be understood without experiencing it first hand. And I hope for each and every one of you, that you will never get that oppurturnity. But who would like to come into contact with my sinful kind in the first place?”
CallMeDaddy was caught off-guard by Moirais answer and had to make a sudden break to truly understand and comprehend what had been said. He had never heard about the Duality of men. What was that supposed to mean? This question among many others was currently running through his brain.
After long few seconds, CallMeDaddy finally managed to bring out some words, despite them deviating from his initial plan.
” But everyone knows, that the monsters are responsible for every evil in this world. So how can humans be on the same level as this hateful abominations?”
Moirai could only shake his head upon seeing the naive reply from his interviewer. Nevertheless, he still gave a sufficient answer to the question.
” Monsters are evil and vile but just because they are, does not mean, that others are incapable of being the same. Viewing the world one-sided means setting yourself up for failure. ”
” But did the Gods not guide our way and told us to eradicate the monsters for that exact reason. To cleanse the world of evil?” asked CallMeDaddy confused, as everyone knew that Monsters were the cause for everything bad in this world.
” Let me put it into terms, that might make you understand. The monsters responsible might not look like monsters nor are your seeing them as such. The monsters might be much closer than you would expect them to be.”
” Ridiculous” CallMeDaddy exclaimed full of passion. ” Do you think we would not see a monster when it was close to us? With our magical talent, no mere beast would be able to come even close to us.”
A long sigh escaped over the lips of Moirai for yet another time as he had failed at bringing his points across.
” To rephrase it one more time. If you only see Evil, when there are monsters involved, you are going to have a very bad time. That much I can guarantee you.” The expression on Moirais face was a lot more aggressive as he had spoken the warning.
” That much should be obvious, we never said the fight against the monsters was easy. Many strong have given their lives in the battle against these vile beings. Until every last monster has been eradicated we can not rest easy.”
Now it was Moirais turn to look dumbfounded as he failed to comprehend how his conversation partner had come to this conclusion. Moirai appeared to be pondering about something as the CallMeDaddy started the next line of questioning.
” Which kind of monsters do the humans face?”
” The human race had to face a lot of difficult adversaries. All of these monsters were several times bigger and stronger than a puny human but in the end, the humans managed to persevere. But even to this day, there are still some monsters, that can not be controlled no matter what is done. Despite all of the old predators being gone a long time ago.”
” Ridding the world of every monster can not be done that easily, especially if you fail to comprehend what a monster truly is. Yet instead of trying to actually understand, you claim to already have done so, ” Moirai added looking dispirited and slightly disappointed.
” Silly Moirai, sorry for having misunderstood your intentions. It really was a good joke, I think everyone can agree to that.” With these words came widespread laughter as the entire camera team had come to the same conclusion.
Moirai was unimpressed by their reaction and only mumbled, that this should suffice. Afterwards, he returned to his usual stance and joined in with them on the laughter. This situation lasted for quite some time until everyone returned to the slightly serious mood had during the interview.
” So Moirai jokes aside, tell us something interesting about yourself.”
” I think being human is the only redeeming quality I have. The rest is something you would not like to hear about that I am sure. ”
” Then let us just start with a basic question, what kind of magic can you use?”
