Heather looked up at Valana and shrugged, her quiet, melodic voice taking on a snarky tone, "Maybe if you Mages did a better job not being possessed by demons we wouldn't need to...." she looked back down to where she needed to watch, and her voice returned to normal, "Snarkiness aside, our purpose is not to slaughter mages, but to protect innocent people from what you mages can unleash. Would you prefer we didn't and simply let a bunch of possessed mages run amok? This world would no longer exist, or at least it wouldn't be one I'd like to live in." "Most Templars, including myself, do not enjoy killing mages. Most of us a fine men and women, just as I'd expect most mages are actually fine men and women. It is the demons that can take you over I have a problem with not you yourselves. Nothing would please me more than to give you all the freedom to do as you wish, but the consequences are just too great. So we do what must be done." She was a little bothered by the mage using Entropy to check for survivors. It was a dangerous school, and from what she had experienced most prone to become possessed by a demon. She had to admit he did it quicker than the soldiers ever could, however.
