Should I Kill Paarthurnax Novels & Stories

Justin swallows, looking towards the window like he can see her from here. “Sarah’s strong. She can hold her own until we get get to them.” I tell him, and he takes a deep breath. “Short of killing them all… What can you do if you can’t use your powers to fix this?” He asks, and I flinch as I consider anything else I can do. I don’t want to kill them. They don’t actually deserve to die, but will I? Would I kill all of them in order to protect everyone? Honestly… Yes… I think I would.

“He has every right to be angry with me. I messed up.” Layla’s eyes flashed, her lips pressed into a thin line. “You made a choice in a terrible situation. You shouldn’t be punished for it.” Nathan, who had been silent until now, seemed to ponder Layla’s words, his expression unreadable. Finally, he exhaled deeply, his eyes meeting mine. “So what are you going to do now?” Layla broke the silence, a seriousness clouding her eyes. Nathan hesitated, choosing his words carefully. “As much as I hate to say it, we have no other choice but to kill the witch. There’s no known way to break a witch’s. Not as far as I’m aware, at least.”

"If you kill him now, every Purifier in North America will hunt you until you're dead." He held my gaze. "Is that what you want?" I looked down at Azrael. At the knife in my hand, still poised to end his life. At how easy it would be to just push down, to eliminate the threat permanently. Do it, the shadow whispered. He'll only come back stronger. Kill him now while you have the chance. Zane's hand on my wrist was steady. Grounding. A reminder that I had a choice. That I didn't have to become the monster they feared.

“Yes, you can. It’s not like you’ll be doing it for a bad reason. Just try it and see what he says. If he’s really not feeling it, we can always bury him again. No harm done.” “I gave my word,” said Joshaya. “Who gives a shit?” I said, making a very reasonable argument. “What’s the worst that could happen? He kills himself again?” This, I felt, was a good line to take. If Arthur was Peter’s nemesis, let them sort it out between them. Maybe he had his own giant Elf and they could battle it out like some crappy Japanese kids show. I’d be happy to take care of merchandising. Joshaya looked unconvinced, but well short of a firm refusal.

Kai says, then gets up and crosses his arms. “Since he seems to be behind everything bad that has happened in our lives, including me killing Mother and the parasites implanted in our brothers, I think it’s only fair that I repeat my rampage. However, this time I will make sure Father stays dead and if I have to use the Nephilim dagger once more, then so be it.” Again I ask, does no one ever fucking stay dead anymore?

His tone was matter-of-fact. “No army can destroy me.” He took a step closer. “The Ancients sealed me because they couldn’t end my existence.” Seraphine’s pulse thundered in her ears. “And you’re telling me…” His voice dropped lower. “…that if I die, the bond dies with me.” Her breath caught. “And if you decide I should stop existing…” His eyes locked onto hers. “You could make that happen.” The realization hit Seraphine like a collapsing mountain. She could kill him.

"This blade will end the chaos. One clean cut, and the threat dies with her." "And if we refuse to help you?" Elder Harrison asked quietly. "Then you die with her," Malachar answered simply. "Along with your packs, your families, and anyone foolish enough to stand in our way." The room fell silent. I could hear my heart beating in my ears. This was it. The moment that would define everything that came next. Stand with this monster and help him kill an innocent girl, or stand against him and watch my pack get destroyed. But there was a third choice. One that might get us all killed, but was the only choice I could live with.
