I don’t really view Rumpel abandoning the war as am act of cowardice. The Ogre wars had been raging for decades and had claimed many innocent lives. To be honest, I think Rumpel did the right thing in fleeing. Why remain in a war that’s claiming the lives of so many people? And speaking to you as the sister of a man who’s been sent into combat on numerous occasions, I sympathize with Rumpel’s decision. Most people have no idea about the truly shocking horrors that war brings. Killing, torturing, always being on the run, always fearing for your life…it’s not something that most people can fully comprehend. We’ve been brought up to believe that if we abondon a war (no matter how dumb it is) that we’re cowards. This isn’t always the case. The Ogre wars had gotten so bad that innocent children were being recruited to fight in die in it. Why wouldn’t Rumpel run away from that? I would. These wars are the Fairytale land equivilent of World War II.
Rumpel has nothing to be ashamed of.
