I need to be clear on your idea of Ars years, Marko, since it seems that you put winter at the start of the year instead of Spring, which I believe to be the canon chronology.
As for my previous comments:
Having read the flambeau chapter, whilst finding it an improvement in terms of diversification of schools of combat, I find nothing that inidicates any significant increase in introspection and certainly nothing regarding a more comprehensive worldview beyond the classic egotism for which the house has always been known. Perhaps some magi from selective Houses might willingly involve themselves in extolling the accomplishments of their Flambeau sodales - and indeed some accomplishments might prove sufficiently worthy of such retelling, however wanton slaughtering of potentially valuable magical allies for mere profit would never, in Dragan's view, be considered noble, worthy or honourable.
In an epoch of steadily encroaching inbalance between the realms, to brag of greatness whilst in reality having willingly plundered one's own magical environment, thus lessening it after a fashion, is nothing more than wanton foolishness and shortsighted at best (malicious at worst).
With his course and role determined by a force (or forces) and necessities far greater than the whims of human egotism or the conventions of any one epoch of man, he has no choice but to follow the course to which he was born.
It is unlikely that any who would adopt a view of greatness so focussed on momentary, localised pursuits, would even attempt to understand the cosmic implications of the path which Dragan treads.
The former values ability as an end in itself rather than a mere tool to facilitate the accomplishment of an end (and beginning) magnitudes greater than any one person or even group could ever embody. Thus, it offers nothing for which to "take credit". It can but fail (at this particular juncture in the great cycle), be furthered toward the ultimate goal, or succeed (in which case all that we as mortals know will be altered to the extent that any notion of individual accomplishment will simply cease to matter).
Mockery is of little concern and only highlights the extent of the ignorance pervading this material order.
Dragan neither claims not to brag nor proceeds to tell anyone of his (personal) importance in the scheme of his assigned quest. Such is a waste of time and serves nothing in the grand scheme. This is merely a circular argument originating from the ego which seeks to justify the legitimacy of the same. It merely reinforces the self-imposed prison into which far too great a portion of mankind, most notably those enjoying some degree of power, places itself.
Many an epic hero stretching back through the eons would disagree. A blind man calling another blind is not even worthy of serious consideration.
To such a myopic claim Dragan would merely shake his head in sadness and pity. The consequences of any action reverberate like the ripples of a pond well beyond and long after the event and those party to it have passed from this frame. There is no clean escape from the repercussions. Ultimately a price must be paid, even if it falls to another or some future generation to pay the debt.
