Reply to comment by AsICan-not-Do in [WP] An immortal has been locked up in a secure government facility for destroying several buildings in a city after losing control of themselves. They could easily escape the flimsy defences, but they have no desire to... until they sense a great threat approaching earth. by Crystal1501

It doesn't matter where the life comes from, life is still life. That's what bothers Cedrick, even if he saved many lives on earth.

Yeah, and he was feeling guilty because he promised himself he wouldn't, I think. I'm not very good at this yet, I'm afraid. Thank you for reading though, and for the prompt!

Not very good... LIAR! You just created a nicely written piece of work which flows well and ends with a thought-provoking statement! You're VERY good!

Aww, thank you! Your words mean quite a lot to me.

Actually, you did great. I'm a pacifist, but wasn't always. Even if I had a good reason, it never feels good when I feel it's necessary to hurt someone. It's a failure that it got to that point in the first place. It's almost worse when a would-be victim thanks you; I don't want to be thanked for hurting someone. Even if I know, rationally, that it was to protect someone else.
