Aro was listening intently and then smiled as the man concluded his story.

"Young man, you remind me of my apprentice. He was human with great potential who managed to tap into it at will and gained great power. However after a while he started to missuse said power for the sake of vengeance. He too met a special someone that helped him open his eyes, find himself and reemerge from the darkness he walked into. He too thought himself a Monster." Aro then paused and placed a hand on Lance's shoulder.

"I am aware of your origin, and I monitor all travelers that come into this realm, as a parent, it helps me be more at ease knowing what kind of people comes here and for what reasons and even stop them if it is needed."

"A monster would not be in the least bit concerned about the sake or safety of others, and I can sense your emotions and can tell them to be genuine. You gained a power and you are scared of it, that is natural. But no power or knowlege are per se good or evil, always remember that. It is how they are used that determines that. It is the same for yourself. You clearly know what's right and wrong, how will you treat others how will you see them, is up to you."

"Evil as a concept is not something you pass genetically nor magically, and I doubt you'll do to your children what your family did to you. As for your sweetheart, let's say you leave her to protect her, but whoever's after you find out she helped you?" Aro paused...

"Don't you think they might pay her a visit and possibly hurt her just so they get to you?" He hit the last nail in the proverbial coffin.

"Life is like a moving river, what's here today might be gone tomorrow, so one must enjoy their lives to the fullest before they find the things most precious to them gone while they dwelwed in their self doubt. And if such problems present themselves you won't be alone to face them." He finished with a smile

"As you youngsters would say, go and smash that." he teased as he winked and gave him a thumbs up.

"Live, love and enjoy life, this is my advice to you." Aro finished.
