Ambriel and Davian: Come Together
The old Ambriel would have shouted in defense. He would have pointed out that Alex had nearly died that night and that Davian habitually took drugs. He would have pointed out that liquor addled the mind and the body. He would have pointed out that it was forbidden to take drugs and a bad idea to drink liquor and that people ended up in the hospital because of drunk driving and irresponsible behavior all the time.
But the old Ambriel would have never ended up in this position, because he would not have been at this party. He would never be seen with a bottle of beer.
But, he was the new Ambriel, the one that had learned that the world was messy and that there were more than two sides than right and wrong. He did not blurt out the first thing that came to mind. Instead, his wings drooped and Ambriel sighed. "I am sorry," he said. "When I said those things, when I got so mad at you, I didn't know. I thought I knew what I was talking about. I was wrong."
