I had briefly feared that in the depths of your heart you had desired vengence over justice. And if I could do aught to prevent you travelling down that path which can turn the noblest of creatures into the most fell of beasts, I would. None here could blame you if indeed you felt that call.

"But now, that which you have offered seems worse to me by far. You must not be so hasty, Pyrothraxus' defeat is but a small step in the direction to set things back on the right path. I will give what aid I can, but only if we see the path to it's end. Far past Pyrothraxus' smoldering ruin."

Vanaduin's gaze swept sluggishly across the room. "Although it seems, I may spend a great bit of time guarding the rear."
