Quote #10

There was a dreadful, desolate hopelessness in the lined face now. Hawkin looked full at Merriman. "I am lost," he said. "I know it. Will you make me live on, with the worst suffering of all now come? The last right of a man is to die. You prevented it all this time; you made me live on through the centuries when often I longed for death. And all for a betrayal that I fell into because I had not the wit of an Old One…" The grief and longing in his voice were intolerable. (12.89)

Hawkin shares what it's like to be in the Dark. He didn't realize when he signed up for the bad guys that it was going to be a tough gig. In fact, he is in pain just thinking about the suffering that's to come. Yep, we definitely want to side with the Light.
