Chapter 3

The next day after the attack, although Baelen aided his brothers in arms to push back the enemy
and keep them from taking the palace, he abandoned his post. The King would accept nothing less
than ten lashes in the public square and for him to be relieved of duty without consideration of
re-entry to the Guards for the abandonment of his post. Also, because he allowed a holy shrine to
to be defaced and damaged his further punishment was exile from the under water kingdom. The king
allowed Baelen twenty-four hours to leave or be killed, taking what he had left, which was not much
to begin with, he left the only home he ever knew, yet he was not sad, nor angry.

He was filled with a determination and thought to himself that although his King refused to see the
good he accomplished by allowing a mere physical thing be destroyed, he saved lives. His determination
filled him and has caused him to come to mainlands of Thera and seek out his fortune, as well as
do what good he can for the world and others, seeking out those like-minded he knew that the Fortress
of Light was his next goal. To gain entry as a Squire and prove to his former King and kingdom that
the greater good is what truly matters and not materialistic things.
