Tacaeus sharply turned away from Zegar, took three steps, then sharply turned back once more.
Do you not think I fear death?! I fear it daily! This Tacq that I was before was care free! Yes, I was just human then, and that was the problem! just as I would sacrifice my life then, I still would now, even if you do not see it!
He paused.
What do you think I was just doing back there? I know very well that Zuko could have ended my life, and that he could have ended yours. I sacrificed myself for all of us. But, you are so blind because of your prejudice that you did not see it.
Zegar," Oh, please . . . you were just trying to show off!"
Tacaeus' jaws tightenned and his teeth ground together.
Zegar," How could you have died! You are partly a God! You seem not to fear anything; your ego has grown along with your status!"
Tacaeus lifted his finger.
You are right, I am PARTLY a God! But I had not inherited immortality! What would happen if I died? I would be replaced! Possibly by a Dragon. The Guardian before me was a Tiger. But you know what . . . I live in fear . . . every step, every breath I take is imbedded in it. I fear the loss of my love, I fear the loss of my life . . . and yes, I fear the loss of my companions.
Zegar stood silent. The other three, Tira, Gogan, and Yanguz stood back, feeling they had no part in this at all. But when Tacaeus mentioned his love, Tira smiled widely.
Zegar," Well, there's one less thing for you to be afriad of," Zegar stepped toward the Archangel and whispered," You've lost your companions."
As Zegar stepped away from Tacaeus, Tacaeus also stepped away from Zegar. Tira ran for her love in comfort, but he turned her away. Tacaeus closed his eyes and openned his mind.
Zuko . . .
Zuko,"Yes . . . ?"
Wh . . . why did you do it?
Zuko,"Just stay away, Angel.
Zuko-
Zuko,"Keep far from here"
Yes, but tell me why!
Zuko,"[i]This is no place for you! You must not see the things I will see!"
Zuko, I have seen worse. In all of my years, believe me, I have seen worse!
Zuko," In all of your years, you have not seen the Lord of Destruction . . ."
Tacaeus felt a tap on his shoulder and lost his focus. He turned around.
Zegar," Get us out of here."
What?
Zegar," Get us away from this place!"
You know, you must stay away from the castle.
Zegar," Yeah right! Un-like you, I am not going to let this planet die!"
Ugh . . . As you wish.
