Competition: [HM] The Paladin Massacre

Finished
[HM] The Paladin Massacre

The "Paladin Massacre" - the slaughter of Undesirable students of the Shadow Academy aboard the VSDII Paladin at the hands of former Headmaster Dacien Victae di Plagia - is not exactly uncommon knowledge among the remaining students. The elevation of Dacien's protege, Farrin Xies, to replace him as Headmaster has done little to quell any remaining fears; though he was not present, there is little question as to his support for the Dark Council's actions.

Where were you when the slaughter happened? What was your reaction? If you're an Undesirable yourself that somehow escaped the purge, how were you successful when so many of your peers weren't?
