A few even sought blessings from the left hand of the Goddess, even kneeling in the street before him to beg forgiveness for some unspecified crime that he didn't care (or need to know) about or protection from the evil of the Black Dogs. These people he avoided with much discomfort. He was no god despite what people thought of him, and neither was he blessed by their benevolent Goddess Reincarnated. Kyril could say nothing to these people but he pitied them all the same. They thought they were safe at Ken, that whatever was outside of their walls stayed outside and nothing bad would happen to them.\
113	Kyril sighed. They had that one emotional crutch taken from them as well as their homes, friends, families, and peaceful lives. The only thing he could do was to end this pathetic rebellion and anyone else who started it and make damn sure that this would never happen again.''
