As for those who cursed me for drawing it out so long, all I can say is... "heh." It amuses me to torture you, have you not learned this yet?
Over the coming weeks and months you'll be finding out a lot more about Demon Road, but I figured I'd answer a few questions now.
For starters, this is NOT the cover.
This is just a nifty holding image we give out so that people can pre-order if they want to. Hence the following link: http://www.pages01.net/harpercollinspublishersltd/DerekLandy-DemonRoad/
The ACTUAL cover, and the new cover artist, will be revealed in due time.
The release date is, as you can see, the 27th of August. Yesterday we said the 28th, but we figured out a way to get it to you a day earlier, and we took it.
Demon Road is both the name of the first book AND the name of the overall trilogy.
It WILL be a trilogy.
The books will be released 6 months apart. This is the way the publishing industry is going, to be honest — especially for children's books/YA. It's a hectic, bruising schedule, which will mean I'm gonna be overworked for the rest of the year, but hey... I'm quite looking forward to it, actually. I always felt bizarrely guilty for making you wait a year between Skulduggery books, so I'm going to see if this way is better.
Ah yes, and it will be Young Adult as well. There's nothing in it (yet) that is amazingly inappropriate for younger readers — maybe a word or two, slipping into older territory — but it's just the overall feel of the thing.
I'm TRYING to write shorter books. I was aiming for a Dark Days length, roughly 80,000 words. I have to write three of these books this year, and I can't have them spiralling out of control like Skulduggery did. I'm currently at 91,000 words. Hopefully I won't go above 100,000, which is roughly where Mortal Coil was. Hopefully.
Right now, I've only signed a contract with Harper Collins UK, which will publish the books in Ireland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada. Over the next while, I'll be signing with foreign language publishers also — but for most of them, I'll need to show them the finished book. Harper UK trust me enough to sign a contract with what they've already seen of the book as I'm writing it.
There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be published in America as well.
Oh, and yes, I will be touring with Demon Road, but it's far too early to say where.

Hi...
You can ignore the code. Just talking to myself.
*goes to give herself a picture*
*hugs Hope*
I've missed you. You said you were leaving. Please don't leave. *hugs*
All I said was bye, but that doesn't mean I was leaving for good.
And I can't find a picture... Again.
*frowns*
Wait...
Were you talking about my code earlier? Or was the leaving thing on a different day?
I can't find a picture! D:
I want one, but none of them are right...
*goes looking for wallpapers instead*
Both.
And I hope you find a picture you like.
Haven't found one... :/
...
I have to go take a shower now. Might be on after.
Sorry, Kas...
It's okay. You'll find it. *hugs tightly*
See you, Hopeywolf.
Onwa: and I, you.
Why?
I think I found one I like.
... It looks so small though.
But still. I think I'll keep this one.
Sorry for poofing.
*hugs Hope tightly, and lays his head on her, closing his eyes, saying nothing*
I like the picture. It's a good picture.
*nods slightly in agreement*
Are you okay, Hope?
...
I honestly don't know...
...
We have/had two 13s that landed on Friday this year... So far.
Three. The last one's in November.
Unlucky year, I guess. Not that I believe the superstition though. Just interesting.
We had three in 2013, I think.
*hugs Hope* You can always talk to me, Hopey.
*nods slowly*
I'll keep that in mind...
It's half past midnight... I think I should sleep.
Have a good day, Kas.
Good night, Hope.
*covers her in warm blankets*
Happy Birthday Seirsha.
*Hugs*
(*tacklehugs Gemma* THANK YOU! :D)
(*checks the time of the last comment*
4:40.
Okay then, have a nice day everyone.)
but don't you worry I'm back ya Rhos is back with a black hat, cape and a black cat baby I'm the new Batman.
Hi I'm here for one night only
So
Happy birthday Seirsha!!!
Happy birthday to you
I went to the zoo
I bought you a monkey
All for you :D
I wrote that myself
(:D YAY RHOS! *tacklehugs him and the monkey* I love it! I'm calling him Sean for no reason at all! :D)
Your welcome *hugs back*
And awesome name for the monkey :P
Hows your b-day been so far sis?
(My friend organised for all my friends to pay together for a Polaroid camera! *sqeals* I LOVE IT SO MUCH!)
I'm glad you're having a good birthday, Seirsha...
My days that's amazing's!!
I'm glad you've got such an amazing present from your friends *grins*
(Thanks Gemma! *huggles*
*takes a photo of Sean who is sitting on my head* :/ :D)
Yay, Seirsha! :) I'mglad you're having a good birthday!
It was aldo the birthday of a boy in my class and my brother . . .
*mentally subtracts nine months from March* June. Hmm. Normally you get a lot of birthdays nine montha away from the Christmas or summer holidays . . .
My brother got a Liverpool FC bedspread and curtains, and you know that Pixar lamp, the one that jumps on the I . . . ? He got one just like that but red. :) It's huge. :O
*randomly hugs everyone* ... ?)
Hi Rhos!! :)
Hello! :)
Happy birthday, Seirsha! *hugs her tightly and presents lots of cake*
*hugs Rhos* :) :) :)
*throws confetti*
HAppy birthday Seirsha!! :)
Also happy birthday @Star's brother and class associate! :) :)
*hugs all*
*not here*
I wish you a perfectly delightful birthday, Mademoiselle Saoirse.
Interesting approach, Mademoiselle Tempest.
Its quiet?...
Thank you,Taia. :)
C HAS JUST BULLIED B INTO QUITTING WHATSAPP.
SHIT.
AND B IS DEADLY SERIOUS ABOUT STUFF AND DOES NOT GO BACK ON HERSELF EASILY.
SHIT.
DAMN MEAN FRIENDS WHO GET AMUSEMENT FROM BULLYING OTHER FRIENDS. -_-
I can tell you about what she did, and it was very funny, but MEH SHIT FUCK IT SHIT.
I JUST HAVE TO HOPE B ENJOYS ROLEPLAYING ENOUGH TO FORGIVE US.
NOT THAT I DID ANYTHING.
Just finished watching the human centipede, that's some weird shit Ha...
(*paces, mumbling worriedly about how Soph has usually replied by now, at least to her emails*)
Hey Jai.
(Hi..
How are you?
Did you enjoy the film?)
Hi.
*hugs everyone*
(Hey Kas.
*hugs back*
*returns to pacing, frowning at the time*)
*hugs Jaimie gently*
There's plenty of time. Take it easy.
(*nods slightly*
Yeah..
She might just not have internet access..
Or signal to text with..
It could totally be that..
Or Draggie might be revising..
Or out with family/friends..
Or busy..
*mumbles to herself*)
Dragona might be doing something, Jai.
(Also, I am totally an uncaring bitch because in the middle of dinner I realised I actually didn't give a fuck about B and just wanted to continue roleplaying.
Oops.)
((Beginning to get rather worried now.))
(*nods*
..
Wait what are you worried about?
Soph or something else?)
(*shakes head*
Something else probably.
Not everyone gets worried about people so easily.
Moron.
*sighs and sits*
*glances at-*)
Jai, there are plenty of reasons why Dragona isn't here.
You're not a moron, Jai.
(*whimpers and squirms*
Maybe I should text them/her/him..)
@Jai Double text. That way the message isn't displayed if the phone was taken.
(Huh?)
(*sighs*
Maybe she finally got bored of me..)
(*sighs and waits*)
(SERISHA GET YOUR ASS HERE SO I CAN SING TO YOU!)
(I admired to my friend today that I'd cut..
She called me stupid..)
(Jai! please don't cut)
(Hi Chloe..)
(*huggles tightly* don't hurt yourself)
(Physical paiN is easier than emotional..)
(I know
but your friend was right
its stupid
I scold myself mentally when I get such thoughts)
(My other friend today said I owed him my life..
I drew a dotted line over my wrist and told him to take it..
Heh..
Gonna shut up now.. no ruining birthdays..)
(Hello.)
Liliana: You will not sacrifice yourself for me.
Claire: I just want to go out?
(SOPH!!!
*HUGS TIGHTLY, SHAKING SLIGHTLY*)
Onwa: You haven't the choice.
Mm. Likely.
(im going to leave now
nos da)
Hello Sophia and Chloe.
@Jai You're not nothing, you're an amazing person. And you're definitely not stupid.
Bye, Chloe!
(Oh.. bye Chloe.. sorry..
*sighs*)
(*hugs Jaimie tightly back, kissing her forehead gently* I am sorry for worrying you.)
Liliana: I do indeed have a choice.
Claire: Could you give me a portal into treehouse with all my weapons? I want to... relax.
(*whimpers gently and nods* at least you're safe..)
Onwa: Not on this.
*rolls eyes and opens the portal*
No killing. Ten minutes. Fifteen and I come find you.
Bye Chole...
(Of course I am, Jaimie. *she cuddles her*)
Liliana: I can stop you.
Claire: Fine, fine, whatever. *she walks through the portal*
Bethany: She's going to hurt someone, isn't she?
(*cuddles back and nods*)
Onwa: *kisses her gently*
Hardly
*closes the portal and sighs*
Probably..
Liliana: *she kisses her back* I will.
Bethany: I... Don't know how to feel about that?
*the sound of a motorbike can be heard from outside*
Onwa: Not.
I know.. at least she does it for a good cause.. but no hurting people when She's on holiday.
Jaimie, you're not sucking the life out of anyone.
(I disagree..)
Jaimie, why is your name like that?
It's not you that's sucked out all of my happiness...
Then you're wrong. Who do you think you're draining the life out of?
(Most everyone.)
Such as?
Hmm.
It seems to me like everyone who cares about people moans about how they care about people and everyone who doean't care about people moans about how they don't care about people.
The grass always seems greener on the other side . . .
*hugs Jai* You're amazing, and I'm really glad I know you. :) You'te also one of the few people I do genuinely give a shit about. That must count for something. :)
(You do not suck the life out of me, Jaimie.)
Liliana: *she touches Onwa's arm, her eyes glowing purple* Please stop arguing.
Bethany: Yes... She's not hurting anyone when we're on holiday...
Onwa: *stops talking*
Anyway.. packing?
(Better?)
One can be a hero, a liar, a eaviour and a vampire.
One can be a thief and a hero, a protector and a killer, a liar and a good person.
Liliana: *she smiles, kissing Onwa's neck passionately*
Bethany: *she nods*
Onwa: *moans quietly, whimpering slightly, the purple glow of her eyes fighting slightly against the silver*
*takes her hand, walking in*
I'll be going now.
Good bye.
Liliana: *she touches Onwa's arm, her eyes glowing purple*
Bethany: *she smiles* I love you.
(Bye Kas..)
Onwa: *blinks, glaring slightly*
Thats cheating.
*smiles back*
Love you too Beth.
Liliana: No, it is not. *she kisses Onwa's neck passionately again*
Bethany: *she forms a suitcase in her hands*
(Right
I said I'm dropping chemistry next year
I hena on my hand the logo of my biology project team
That's doing a presbetation on Monday
Mum shouts and swears at me and says she never doing anything for me again
Because I don't do anything for myself
I heard her say 'now wonder people think she's odd'
Doors were slammed
Finally I get peace)
(I dedicate this page to seirsha and Jai
Happy birthday sis
And Jai, you are amazing )
(*hugs Chloe tightly*)
Onwa: *sighs happily*
Of course it is..
*grins, dumping the bags on the floor*
Right. Imma go grab some clothes..
(I'm going
I'm not going to bring people's moods down because of my petty problems )
@Inky: :( Mo - we're here to help
You always say you're the one who helps, not is helped, but surely you'd be helping people by shoeing them how to be helped and giving the message that it's okay to accept help . . . ?
(Thanks Chloe! *tacklehugs*)
(Inky.. stay. We can help..)
Liliana: How so?
Bethany: Alright. Could you get some of mine?
(I should stop moaning
I feel ...nothing
Peoe here have worse problems
I mean, people attempt suicide or self harm
The few times I've held a blade I haven't had the drive to harm myself
*huggles* it's okay sis
Email
*leaves*)
(Everyone has feelings, no one has more or less than anyone else. Just because you don't cut doesn't mean you don't have problems and they hurt. :( *squeezes*)
Onwa: taking away someone's ability to argue is cheating.
Sure.
*walks to the bedroom*
(Chloe..
*sighs*
Happy birthday saoirse.)
(Thanks Jai!)
Liliana: It is quicker than doing the same via a very effective argument.
Bethany: Thank you. *she smiles*
(You're welcome. Enjoying your Polaroid?)
Onwa: you have no guarantee of how the argument would've ended.
*frowns at the draws, thinking*
*nods, choosing some figure hugging shirts for herself and some warm jumpers for Beth*
*hugs Chloe, Jai and Seirsha*
All problems are problems, Inky, however bad they be.
I'm sorry about earlier, Jai.
(YESSS it's AMAZING!
*hugs Kas*)
(You didn't do anything wrong kas..?)
Liliana: I do, actually.
Bethany: *she places her new underwear in the suitcase*
Hmm. It's okay half nine. But I'm bored.
I may just go to sleep.
*only
Sure I didn't. Because I never do anything wrong.
I pissed you off and kept making you think about...
Damn me.
Hey, Star and Seirsha.
*curls up*
(Kas, you didn't do anything wrong.)
Onwa: Oh?
*raises an eyebrow*
*chooses leggings for herself and thermals for Beth*
*chooses some underwear for both of them*
*walks back*
(Jaimie, it is pointless attempting to tell him he has done nothing wrong. Because no matter what you say, he will continually blame himself for every little thing that happens so people feel sorry for him.)
Liliana: I will have won the argument.
Bethany: *she looks at the clothing* ... Mine seems a lot thicker than yours?
(Soph don't be mean.)
Onwa: Hardly.
*shrugs*
I don't tend to feel the cold.
Fuck off Sophia. Don't you fucking DARE talk about him that way!
You say that again and I swear to god I will say something that I regret. You apologise to him right now. DON'T DARE say that to him! you know fuck all about him.
(She is..
She just doesn't understand.)
(Hello, Elleni.)
Liliana: *she touches Onwa's arm, her eyes glowing purple* Repeat after me, "You would have won the argument, Liliana".
Bethany: *she nods* Okay...
(Why should I apologise when I do not feel sorry for what I said? He blaming himself for every little thing that happens is completely nonsensical, especially considering he had no part to play in half of the things that he is attempting to blame himself for.)
What Elleni said.
Gemma, stop and think. Are you helping, or are you making things worse?
(I am aware I sound like a hypocrite saying this. I don't have the moral high ground, and am not a good example to follow. But please - arguing in this manner will only create conflict and upset. If you want to go ahead regardless because you feel it's the right thing to do, then I can't say I condemn you. But thinking about it may be wise. Not that I'm saying you haven't.)
Onwa: *stays silent for quite a while, eye colours Waring against each other*
Y...you... *grunts* wou..would.. would hav..ve..
*kneels beside her, folding and packing clothes*
I'm not quite sure how to respond to that, Sophia.
Hello, Elleni.
(*huggles Ellie back* hey.)
I agree with Jai. A lot pf peoplr say stuff like, "If people do this, then they aren't friends," but actually, each friendship defines itself.
I agree with Elleni on everything other than that point, though.
Liliana: Please continue.
Bethany: *she places her dress that she had taken off to dress in the jeans and the shirt into the suitcase*
I'm done, Star, I've had one of the worst days, and I'm done. I don't care. I'm past caring.
I sit here, on the phone to Kris trying to make him feel better when you're all saying that he's being attention seeking. I know he's fucking not.
so don't you say that again Sophia, or there is no going back from it. You're wrong. Now shut up and leave him alone.
I don't think Sophia should apologise if that apology would be a lie.
(Threats do not work over the internet, Gemma. And I did not say he was attention seeking, I said that he wanted people to feel sorry for him.)
Actually, rightness and wrongness are entirely wubjective, and if you tell womeone they're wrong without explaining why or offering proof, then very rare will be the occasion when they will belieg you; more likeky, you'll just annoy them.
I can see where you're coming from, and I commend you for standing up for a friend. I'm just unsure about the effectiveness of your methods.
. . .
I think I'm making things worse. I shall attempt to shut up.
Onwa: *gasps slightly, shaking*
Won.. t..the.. arg.. argu.. argument! L..il.. iliana..
*has tears in her eyes*
*smiles*
Nice dress..
Sophia, how is that any different from attention seeking?
I suggest you stop it and leave him alone.
He's sitting there texting me to stop. No, I'm not stopping. He's one of my closest friends and you are NOT getting to talk to him like that without me saying something. So back the hell off.
*Cuddles Elleni* Sorry...tried not to cry earlier...and I'm sleep deprived and I'm stressed as hell and ugh...
Liliana: *she touches Onwa's arm again* ... I am sorry.
Bethany: Thanks... I made it myself.
Onwa: *shudders, near collapsing against her*
*breathes deeply, a slight sheen of sweat on her*
Mmm.. my master crafts woman..
Yeah Star, you are. Because you basically just called me a liar as I can't have proof from a phone call. Do you want him to show proof? Do you want him to post pictures of his cuts like Noelle just so everyone knows he's telling the truth? Yeah Star, you're not helping. I would be grateful if you stop talking about it before I get more pissed off at you, because I like you.
@Gemma: I think Sophia's saying he wants people to quietly feel sorry for him and thus be friendly to him, as opposed to wanting everyone's attention focused on him.
(The clue is in the wording, Gemma. Attention seeking is looking for attention, and wanting people to feel sorry for him is wanting people to feel sorry for him. They, perhaps, can go hand in hand - but are different. You can say something, by all means, if you wish. It makes no difference to me, and it is entirely your decision.)
(*backs away into a corner*
Bye.)
Good bye, Seirsha.
(There is a difference between telling lies and having no proof. Star did not call you a liar, Gemma.)
Liliana: I am sorry, Onwa. *she hugs her tightly*
Bethany: I'm not really a master... or a craftswoman...
(I will be back soon.)
Seir, I'm sorry...
Um . . . Kas's word isn't proof.
Okay. There is no proof. Just things that wuggest proof. But logically, Kas would be unlikely to admit it if he were doing it, so that fact he says he isn't is unlikely. Picctures of cuts also aren't proof of this particular thing; they just give him more of an excuse tor doing it.
. . .
In my opinion.
I don't believe you're a liar, and I don't believe Sophia is. I just think you have different interpretations of the same situation, and I think neither of you will budge, so I think it might be wise ti simmer down. Sophia's disliked Kas for months; that's not changing in a night.
(Don't be. *huggles Gemgem*
*hugs Kas*)
Onwa: *nods, eyes glowing violently, slowly fading*
*hugs her loosely back, not wanting to get sweat on her*
Careful love..
Shh. You're both.
Yes, Sophia.
By saying she had no proof, I was less suggesting I didn't believe her and more suggestimg that she wasn't helping anyone else to.
Maybe I should have made that clearer.
You know what, I agree with Gemma about Sophia.
If I was forced to make sure Loki doesn't insult people, then I am asking Dragona to kindly make sure Sophia keeps out of the sensitive business like this. She obviously cares less about anyone but herself and Silente.
-Zat
(Shush up everyone
No wonder people leave
One day, can you not argue for one day?
It's seirs birthday
She's the same ages as my sister so I somewhat am attached to her like I am with my sister
I'm sure some of you feel the Same
So can you atleast pretend to get on for her sake?!)
He doesn't cut. I was using that as an example star. You can't show proof of a phone call and what was said. So I have no proof that Kas is upset and feels bad for all the fighting. I blame myself too, even if it's not my fault. Because I feel bad for people like Seir who just sit and watch. He's not looking for sympathy. There are lots of people like him who just feel as if they're upsetting them. I feel as if everyone hates me all the time. I feel bad and apologise for like everything. So he's looking for sympathy because of that? Um, no. It's just who he is.
You know, people here appear to be under some kind of midconceltion that people cannot believe you're a liar and still think you're awesome.
I don't really mind if my friends lie to me, to be perfectly honest. Well, okay, I do mind. But I can forgive them, and just because they do doesn't mean I stop liking them.
This isn't relevant to the argument. I was just thinking about it.
And Sophia is just who Sophia is, Aria. If Kas gets away with certain lercieved-to-be-negative-by-some traits because it's who he is, shouldn't Sophia?
Please, Zaf, can you not make everything into a jab at Jai and Sophia?
*misconception
*percieved
I still don't know how to respond to this. That's why I'm keeping quiet and watching.
Also, Zaf, Sophia is not a dog. Should I ask your parents to kindly restraun you from commenting as you clearly only care about insulting Siohia?
(Devil's advocate comment; I know that's not all you care about. :))
*restrain
*Sophia
Star, she's being rude about it. She could have said it a nicer way or kept it to herself. Kas isn't doing any damage by apologising all the time, I think it's quite cute and funny.
But Sophia is doing damage. She always says things that gets everyone else pissed off. It's the way she says things. She doesn't have to say them at all. That's what the difference is.
Yeah. I wouldn't know how to respond if I were you, tbh, Kas. :(
@Aria: I can agree with that, actually.
Sophia only cares about insulting everyone else apart from you and jaimie.
Chloe, don't even. I've been saying that for 4 days then Sophia says that. Don't even tell me to stop for Seir's birthday. No one else seems to care. I started saying that 4 days ago. But no, I'm not having her talk about kas like that. Nope. Jaimie, Kas and Keiron, if anyone talks to them that way you'll get hell form me. Chloe and Seir too..
(*hugs star and gemma*
Thank you, Star, for sticking up for Soph.
And for both of us against zaf.
Seriously guys.
I'm a person, not an example to be thrown in others faces to prove a point.
Thank you, Gem, for sticking up for Kas.
Now please stop arguing..)
(Sophia cares about more that insulting people..)
(Yeah. Um. Me too.)
Sophia cares about more than me and Jaimie. And I don't think she cares awfully about insulting people. I think she just likes to be honest.
Which isn't to say that I don't still agree with Aria's comment that I just agreed with.
I'm not using you as an example, its a fact that Sophia only cares about you and Star. No one else. If there is something someone doesn't like, Sophia's the first to say. Then she hurts everyone's feelings.
(Do not take this out on Chloe!)
(I agree she can be a bit blunt, but that's just who she is.. that's a part of her..)
. . .
This got very complicated for me very fast.
I'm finding it very hard to be honest and not make all my friends think I dislike them. :P Honesty is more important to me though tbh.
Hi Jai. Thank you. :)
I don't think I have anything more to say on thus subject . . .
I'm not. I was telling her not to say that too me, not after all I tried to get this to stop for Seir's birthday, Jack.
(Yeah. I idk.
*leaves again*)
The attention seeker is you, Sohpia. You're always the first to spit your rude and narrow-minded opinions at the rest of the world as though they're the only thing that matters without the slightest thought for their effect on others. I don't know if you're that full of yourself, or if you honestly don't care about people, or if you're simply stupid. Regardless of the reason you feel the need to let all the world know what you think and why you're always right, I can't wait for the day it all comes back to haunt you.
(Sorry Saoirse..
John. Just.. please don't. Gemma I can handle, you I can't.)
Please stop picking on Zafira and pretty much everybody.
Just stop. Move on. I've moved on. So let's all move on.
*Cuddles Seirsha tightly*
Stay, I have something for you...
*Brings out a 3 tier birthday cake with little ice flowers decorating it*
Happy Birthday, Seirsha... I'm incredibly sorry...
*Places a party hat on her head and bursts a party popper over her head so the streamers land on it*
Well you know this is bad when I'm come here
So please everyone
And i blwdi well mean everyone!
Just belt up!
We don't need this crap from anyone
Gem, I appreciate you sticking up for Kas and well i appreciate everyone is sticking up for someone here
But if we all just stop
Breathe
And calmly discuss things
We might get somewhere
We need to stop before we break this place permanently
So please just think a little before throwing shit at each other
This isn't a zoo!
This is a community and its bwldi well time we started acting like it
There my peace has been said
*nods at Silente* I agree.
Sophia cares about very few individuals, but she does care and care for people as a whole, and she cares about things outside of that too.
Also, Sophia says many things other people think, but aren't confident enough to say. I agree that she could maybe keep quiet, but is it better to tell people if you don't like them or is it better to keep pretending . . . ? I honestly don't know; I believe it's s matter of opinion, and I believe many of us have different opinions on the matter.
You're right Jai. I can't handle it. I can't handle this fighting, I can't handle Sophia insulting one of the closest people in my life. I can't handle us ruining Seir's birthday, so let's stop.
Thank you, John.
(*nods*
Stopping..
*faces back into lurking*)
*Whispers to Seir*
It's rainbow coloured inside...
(Sorry Gemma, I'm just not really in the mood for cake right now but I appreciate it and will probably eat it tomorrow. Thank you. *huggles* And please don't blame yourself for this. I'm not going because of you.
*leaves for the last time tonight*
See you all tomorrow.)
Trying to calmly discuss. My liking for arguing is spilling out a bit.
I believe that's true, Elleni.
This is why you can't (metaphorically or otherwise) kill to protect - because then people protecting those you're killing see you as the aggressor and kill you, and you kill them, and then you're killing each other and there's conflict and war and how is that protection . . .
John. You are not helping in the slightest. I am going to ignore your comment. If I did not, you would be getting defensive (ad opposed to offense) hate in return.
Thank you again, Elleni.
