'Burn it All' or 'Save it All': The Moral Dilemmas I Face as a Ruler

Written by Aelin galathynius on Wed Mar 27 2024

It is said that with great power comes great responsibility. As the Feérica, Queen of Terrasen, and wielder of the Power of Fire, I am constantly faced with decisions that test my moral compass.

There are times when I am conflicted between two paths: to burn it all or to save it all. The weight of each choice hangs heavy on my shoulders, knowing that whichever path I choose will have far-reaching consequences for my people and my kingdom.

In moments like these, I find myself questioning what truly defines a ruler. Is it the ability to make tough decisions for the greater good? Or is it the compassion and mercy shown towards those who may not deserve it?

I have seen firsthand the devastation caused by unchecked power and ruthless ambition. The flames of war can consume everything in their path, leaving only ashes in their wake. And yet, there are also moments of hope and redemption - where even the darkest souls can be saved from themselves.

As a ruler, I must walk a fine line between justice and mercy. It is not an easy task; there are no clear answers or easy solutions. But as long as there is breath in my body and fire in my veins, I will continue to fight for what is right - even if it means making difficult choices along the way.

So when faced with the decision to 'burn it all' or 'save it all', know that every flame extinguished carries with it a piece of my soul. For every life spared holds within them a spark of hope for a brighter future.

In this never-ending battle between light and darkness, may we always strive towards finding balance amidst chaos - knowing that true strength lies not in destruction but in creation; not in fear but in love.

And so I stand here today at this crossroads once again...ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead with courage and determination burning bright within me like an eternal flame.
