share that Dream. You must be willing to pay the
price. If not, take the easy Path that will be put before you. But
remember that if you do, you will betray all Those who have paid the
price before and will pay the price in the future."
82 "I think I understand what you're saying," Morn answered, "that if a
man is willing to fight and die for what is right, to suffer for what
is good, then it is not my place to deny him the opportunity, but to
lead them as best I can, to give all I have, beside them."
83 "Not beside them," insisted the Spirit, "before them. For a leader's
place is to lead. He must stand before those who would follow him. That
is his place. "
84 "It still frightens me," Morn continued, "so much responsibility is
wearying."
85 "When it is not," warned the Spirit, "step aside and let someone
else take your place, because the hour has come that you are unworthy
to serve. If you do not care about your losses, if you do not try to
save every possible life, then you have become unworthy
to lead, and another who does care must take your place."
86 Morn nodded. "Thank you, my friend." He rolled onto his back and was
instantly asleep.
