Sylph overhearing this turned his head. The squabbling and madness of the Hall never ceased to irritate him. The ignorance and hypocrisy of this archer in particular grated at him like gravel against skin. Sylph stood up, pulling his new emerald hood over his helmet. He walked over towards Docken.
"I must disagree with your assertion that evil cannot fight evil without becoming 'corrupt.' In fact, it is impossible to fight evil without evil." Sylph stated slowly and calmly, resting his hand on the table. "Killing. is. evil. To end the life of a being capable of thought, love, hunger, fear... is a horrendous crime--yet you, and all we 'heroes'--commit this act for money more than anything else. 'Good' is what benefits the most organisms for the longest time, therefor, evil can serve good better than strict adherence to 'goodly' acts. If a lion does refrains from killing an antelope, it cannot feed itself or its pride, and the antelopes eat themselves to extinction, killing the grass and the animals that depend on the grass and those that depend on them. The evil of killing the antelope saves that environ from destruction. You cannot say that that evil does not serve to counter the even greater evil that would befall should that lion swear to veganism. Corruption is evil without cause or the act of good when it serves evil ends."
