Dragonfall, chapter 14

I never asked for any of this. I never wanted to negotiate with the orphans. I never wanted to be saddled with Cash's useless crotch-spawn. I never wanted to be in Dragonfall. Hell, go back far enough, I never even wanted to be a mercenary. I just wanted to get away from my parents and bang the recruiter. How did it all come to this? Why am I here? What's the point of anything? Does life truly have any meaning? Is there really a grand design, a destiny for us all that our cutie marks guide us to? Or are we merely moths, adrift in a dark, uncaring night, drawn mindlessly towards whatever feeble light and warmth we can find?

I know now, as I have always known, that no benevolent god rules our world. What benevolent god would allow a city like Dragonfall to exist, I ask? What benevolent god could ever create the Flim Flam brothers?
