[X] Aemon felt doubt eating away at his lifelong faith. There were many faiths in this world. How can he be sure the Seven are the true gods? Many learned men declared them all false gods. And this was another stone on the balance that questioned them. His father's death was not part of some grand design. It couldn't be. It was an unworthy death, and if the gods were true and they allowed it they too were unworthy.
[X] Nothing in the world is free or safe, Aemon took what he wanted and savored it. No doubt a price will be owed. Pay it. As long as he acted according to his unyielding will, as long as he advanced with courage to act according to his own code, he would carve a true path for himself to walk all the days of his life.
[X] Just because he could do a thing, doesn't mean he should. A man of conviction holds firm to his ideals and morals even in the face of the greatest desire. He should not be satiated by small gains when it may well hamstring attaining greater goals. Aemon shall steer a course and hold to it even if all the world opposes him.
[x] Aemon solemnly observed the proceedings, his faith never waning. The designs of the gods were beyond man. Maegor Targaryen believed deeply, his father was a devout man that sought to bring everyone into the embrace of the Seven. Aemon would never be a saint, he could only act in accordance with their divine laws and his own conscience.
