Bladetree, our descendant, know this:

Love is something to be treasured. Love is holy and Love is pure. What these siblings share is true Love, and one should not question it.

What they are doing is a little creepy, sure. But right now they are invaluble to saving the world from evil.

After that is over, you can give them a stern talking-to about how to properly handle themselves.

They kinda ARE demons, if you weren't paying attention. The unholy magic-crafted spawn of the Skull King.

They are not doing this for evil, they're just ignorant. They can be taught how to real siblings should treat each other, the difference between familial love and carnal love.

Love can bloom anywhere, even on a battlefield. Who else could a blutjaegar love but its own kin?

It is none of your concern, regardless.

Focus more on your duty, and less on forcing your morals upon your betters.

Love is blind, and love is pure. Love grows in the strangest of places. But because loves grows there, the place become pure for if it is true love then even the wickedest of places is pure from it's placement.

Sometimes the forces of good must use evil to destroy greater evil. We foresee these two may be able to bring down the Skullking, my child. Hold your sword until that deed is done, then you may be able to vanquish them.

Discretion is the better part of valor, Sir Bladetree.

They are both blutjaegars. Weak as though they may seem, they are foes beyond your power. Attacking them outright is suicide.

Stay your blade until an opportunity comes. Throwing your life away will not accomplish anything of worth.

Now ask: Does being made from evil make one evil themselves? They clearly carry the effects of this, inwardly and out, but does this make them deserving of death? What is their goal? The destruction of your enemy. Whether they later fall to evil is yet to be determined. It is not a foregone conclusion.

Don't be racist. Good demons are good regardless of being demons. They aren't evil. You have nothing against them.

Suicide is not the answer, Bladetree. You can use this lesser evil to defeat the greater.

After the Skullking falls, then you can dispatch this abominable relationship.

Use your foes against each other, as Leaffall The Mighty did so many years ago.

A cleansing we shall give you, my son. True love may lighten even the blackened heart of a demon, despite it's wicked source. Patience is the path of goodness and so is subtlety.

And one such as you is so blind to subtlety. We recommend you go forth to the fair maiden Axebeard. We think that not all face turn to Prince Mudy.

Stay thy blade, now is not the time! Your death would be for naught, for Raital will kill you and then nobody would be there to check the Kobold's lust for each other.

Have you considered, you know, talking to them about how their actions discomfort you? It's better to turn a sinner into a good man than it is to slay him.

You still have to learn much, young paladin. Evil doth not come from birth, from the form, but from the heart. You, as a paladin, have to protect all good, regardless of as what it might appear. You know, that you do not sense evil in them.

Technically the only woman who really threw herself at him was Raital. Another Blutjeager felt some attraction, but it could be compared to a cat finding a mouse particularly delicious looking.

More importantly... Are you motivated by a thirst for justice, a thirst for blood, or simple jealousy?

Yes. Yes it is. For the ends justify the means in this case, and though you may be persecuted, called a traitor for it know in your heart you are truly not a traitor and did what was just and right in the situation. You shall be a hero, though the eyes of the public may not see you as such.

You must be hurt knowing your fate, noble warrior. Seek comfort with yonder maiden Axebeard.

You must learn to use what tools you are given. Your blade is of no use against the Skullking, as Leaffall could not defeat the armies alone.

Your compatriots, evil as they are, have the power to challenge her, as did the goblins and dark elves have the power to challenge Leaffall's enemies.

The world may punish you for this. Your life may become painful, you may be locked away, your may be hurt or killed. However, your life will not be spent in vain, but in the service of a good far beyond interrupting the events in that tent.

Learn from history, Bladetree. Learn to level one evil against another.

Bring light and good to the world by any means available, Bladetree.

Do your duty.

Look, you spazz, even if it's wrong, those two are about the closest thing to heroes around here besides yourself. And the Blutjaeger's only that way because she's sexing the kobold.

Even if you've got a problem with it, they're still trying to stop a force of unimaginable evil with your king's consent. So the least you could do is wait until they've killed the greater evil before you go all crazy and get yourself killed by a Blutjaeger.
And if they fail, and die, then the problem solves itself.

In the meantime, why don't you just try to spend more time with Axebeard. She seems like she's pretty on the ball. Or else she's scouring away the memories with beer, which would also work.

You hear me? GO GET DRUNK.

You see, Bladetree.
Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.
As a soldier of my cause, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
These two have cast off the shackles of the Skullking's evil and have sought the light in their own way.
Your duty is to help guide them toward the light, not strike them down in their hour of revelation, just as they have begun to shun the darkness that has plagued their existence.

Mudy holds his breath. He could hear everything. Even the voices of the ancestral spirits somehow sounded clear as day to Mudy, unnatural as they were.
Will Bladetree truly betray them -- or is it fair to say he already did?
Mudy decides that as soon as he can focus again he will take this into deep consideration.

Pay it no mind, Mudy. Continue with the throes of passion to help you forget for the moment.

Also, note how there's less blood now than there was when Mudy awoke from their first rutting session. Handwaved for art conveniency, magical self-cleaning pillows, or someone else's tent?
