One of them grabs their Mace and swings at him. 29
”why…” they sob. “Am i not allowed to h-hate someone who tried… k-killing me?” They ask looking down at the ground.
*Cut*
*Im just going to assume it misses* He dodges under the swing and throws a punch at the pit fiends face. 36 0 Damage
”Because hate will kill you, it will tear you apart until you are nothing but a monster. I would know.”
The pit fiend is knocked back, clutching their nose with their hand for a moment. He roars and swings again. 30
”then what am I supposed to do?… he’s already dead…”
He dodges underneath and then holds up a hand “I’ve seen enough, my punch would have crushed your face. You are fighting with too much anger. You are letting it control your actions.”
“All you can do, live without the hate. Live on.”
They mutter amongst themselves for a few moments.
”But anger makes us stronger! It gives us our determination to fight.”
Lonely looks up.
”that sounds… i don’t know… how could I do that? Just, let go of All the stuff making me angry, and sad, and…”
“Anger makes you stronger but when it controls it corrupts. You begin to make stupid choices because you think you’re stronger than you are.”
”That is something I can’t tell you, because I’m still learning that myself, but I will help you with that.”
“Then what should we do?” They ask rather bluntly.
”thanks… I’m sorry… really sorry about all this, making you upset and disappointed…”
“Control yourself, in both body and mind. If an emotion overwhelms you it can kill you like anything else.” His voice cracks slightly and a tear rolls down his face.
“It’ll be fine. We can work through it together.”
“Why you crying?” They snort, chuckling a bit and ignoring the first part. The others start laughing too.
”what do you do… when something like this happens to you?”
“Anyone who laughs further will have to spar with me one on one, and I won’t hold back.” He wipes the tear from his eye.
“Whenever it happens to me I’m usually in a really dark place, but I have friends and family to pull me out of it.”
They stop laughing, completely silent again.
”how do they do that, though? Because you don’t mean they physically pull you out of the darkness…”
“That’s what I thought. Where is the training room, because that is where we are going. Along the way gather anyone of your rank and occupation.”
“They were simply there for me, they knew that hate was wrong and simply loved me unconditionally.”
Two Pit fiends silently lead the way and several more, increasing the group to around 20, join them. They find their way to a large room shaped like an arena, reminiscent of the arena Rag was in for the trial by combat. There are racks of numerous pit fiend sized weapons, swords, maces, spears, halberds, and crossbows.
”and that… worked?”
“Now I want the weakest of the group to grab their weapon of choice and stand in front of me.”
”It took a lot of time but it did.”
A few others push a smaller pit fiend to the front of the group, and grabs a shortsword.
”weird… and you think the same thing would work for me?”
“The strongest with go with the shrimp. Everyone else pick a partner! If there is anyone remaining I will train them personally. This exercise is not about strength but about mental control and judgement.”
”I think it’s worth a try at least. It’s not like you’re a heartless monster. I care about you.”
*Sorry for vanishing.*
*sorry for vanishing lol*
they pair up, the strongest one looking quite angry at having to team up with the small one.
”thanks….i try not to be.” They chuckle a bit.
*Cut.*
Rag notices the strongest being mad about his match up "HEY! Straighten your face before I straighten it for you!" He growls before turning to everyone "You are all going to spar, ten rounds. The first to hit your opponent without getting hit yourself wins the round. Once you've completed ten rounds you switch partners with someone else until everyone has been with everyone. If anyone has an issue with it they can spar with me first." He clasps his hands together "Understood everyone?"
"That's all you can do sometimes." He chuckles too, "I made another sandwich for you if you want it."

They All nod in agreement, and the big one shuts up. With Rag’s permission, they start the sparring matches.
”thanks, I don’t think I’m hungry though. I need something to take my mind off of all… this.”
"Begin!" He then walks over to the wall with the door and leans against it with his arms crossed, just watching.
"Well I don't know what to do then. Collin might though." He slits his palm with a dagger and Collin falls out, forming a blood clone.
