Writer's Note: This fic takes place during Ascension and contains mild spoilers.
Out of everyone outside of Graveheart, Pyrus was the first to accept and understand what Jade had done. He was the quickest to understand the dilemma that Jade faced, as well as the constant guilt and split loyalties she had to face every day.
Out of everyone, Jade was the one who was at Pyrus' side when he sought to bring the Battle Moon back from Blaze. She was witness to Blaze's own split loyalties and his need to feel that he was doing his part. But she was also there when he stated that his loyalty was to his king. And those words had festered deep within her bones.
So it wasn't difficult for Pyrus to grasp that sometimes, you had to do really nasty things in order to prove yourself. Sometimes you had to betray the ones you love in order to feel that you're doing your part. And sometimes, most of all, you had to break the rules in order to make everything work out.
