What's the limit of your character's regrets?

I don't remember enough to know if I could have stopped Azkadellia, if I would have recognized what had happened to her before she- before DG was killed. I don't know if I can take any blame for that.

I do know the Sun Seeder was mine, and those who were sent to the mines for moritanium, all they went through, all of that...that's mine, that's my fault. Building the Tower? I did that too. All the towns erased while she was trying to find the emerald to power the damn thing? Mine, too.

I gave up half my brain trying to keep the plans from the Sorceress. I'd do the same to stop myself from even thinking of it in the first place. Slow the suns to extend the growing season. Sweet Glinda, who did I think I was?

This is excellent. Not only do you have Glitch's voice, I think you've nailed exactly what he would be thinking on this topic.

I particularly like the final paragraph.

{Thank you, hon! This is why the scene-on-the-log has always bugged me, because YES, so much of this is all his fault and once again the writer's chose to go with a comic relief moment instead of giving it some respect. Glitch's pain and guilt is swept neatly under the rug, and Raw's rep as the worst empath ever is cemented, and...argh.

Now I'm angry. But in a good way!}

*passes tea*

Wyatt said once that the Mystic Man told him something about good intentions and the Old Road... I can't remember the exact phrase.

I think that, in looking back, we can always find the bad side in everything, no matter how noble the idea. In the end, it happened. Best we can do is learn from it and pray we don't make the same choices.
