Facade

 "It was even that bad, well I think, it's not like I hurt anyone", I thought to myself.

I would've never thought this would be the reaction I would get. I wasn't trying to be any hero, I did what needed to be done. I was trying to help, help us all. It was an opportunity that we could just not let go of. Our supplies were running low, sooner or later we would've been starving for food and water. I sat there, in that room with Marek and the rest of them. Their delusion of creating some damn bond with those people, they have no idea of how those warmongers really are. 

"Why did you do it. You spend, all of your time alone, away from the rest of us. You isolate yourself, you rarely even speak to the Council Marek said, as the rest of the Council stared at me in aversion

"I did, what was necessary, Marek. We wouldn't last a week longer, our people were starving, sick and dying"

"We had a deal with them and now our people will never get a glimpse of that city," Marek lashed out, slamming his fist on the table.

"What is your obsession with them, they have nothing done anything good for us. You are blinded by this... this fantasy of being with the very people that put us where we are today"  

"Why now do you decide to intervene, this was our chance to rebuild," Marek scolded at

"They would've never helped us, we are outsiders to them. They all live high and mighty within those city walls, act as if we are a plague to them. Those people that control that city, will never let anyone know about our existence. They lie and deceive their very own men, women, and children."

"Silence!", Marek lashes out in rage. 

"No. No Marek, can you not see, you are striving for a future that will never work. Those people are not good. They are monsters, they would've killed all of us" 

"Why do you speak of lies and nonsense", Marek's eyes grew in fury

"Have you ever even asked yourself, how I know all of this"

"What do you speak of." Marek sternly stared at me 

"Do you even know where I came from? Do you? When you found me that day, stranded, dying in the rain"

"Explain yourself now!", Marek demanded

"Marek... I was one of them..."
