The reflections of a mad shaman

“Is what I’m doing right?”
She often found herself asking this question, endless solitude giving her nothing but time to think.
Was taking a life to save many others really a good and virtuous thing?
The endless pleas of the many she’s possessed constantly ring in her ears.
If she listens too much, her head begins to hurt, a splitting headache coming over her.
“Am I really the same lioness I was 200 years ago?”
She often thinks back on her life, her past mistakes, how she lived.
She did so many good and kind things, yet why did she find herself feeling empty.
Were the tales they told of her not enough?
Did the constant praise fall on deaf ears?
No matter how many good things Ismay did, she always found herself longing for more.
She needed to do more things, help more people.
It didn’t matter if it resulted in her being too weak to walk sometimes.
It didn’t matter if she had to hide her seizures from her family.
As long as she was helping people she could reassure herself that what she was doing was right.
But was her life not just as precious as the ones she was saving?
Did her family not suffer her death just as any others did?
And what about her beloved?
She never got to say farewell, never got to snuggle him one last time.
“What have I done..”
Ismay mused quietly, her voice barely a whisper.
The realization that by attempting to save more lives, she ruined many others.
Did the lions she possess not suffer as much as others?
They were innocent, and she came and stole their bodies.
Was she really doing the right thing by draining their lifeforce dry?
Did she actually want to save others or was it the praise that kept her going?
She didn’t know the answers to these questions, and perhaps she never will…
