"Technically, that isn't wrong. I am a tool. If you kill with a sword it shouldn't argue back.
But I am also a person. I do know this. It does muddy the waters a bit.
Ultimately, however, I take my life force from my Awakeners in exchange for offering them my power. There is no part of the contract that allows them to rescind their connection to me, or for me to deny them their path. I will not claim anything so foolish as 'not being human doesn't make me a person' or the like.
But entirely free will is also not part of what I am. I do not particularly have to like it, but I also choose not to resent it. I exist for a purpose, until that is fulfilled I will experience good and bad, I will be free and chained, I will see ugly and beautiful. There is far too much for me to love and far too little time awake to waste it on resentment."
