Chapter 6

"Forgiveness is a virtue of the light. Remember that and do not sin again.
Consider what this weight has truly done to your soul, Lathlaeril. Shokai
teaches that you look over the edge of darkness and find yourself above it.
I, however, teach that goodness starts within the light. Any can preach
virtue, but few take the time to understand what it really means. How do you
know what it is to separate from the darkness if you do not also look
goodness in the eye and understand trust and light. Combat, to me, is to be
more willing to fight for that which you believe in. Refresh your memories on
your duties, Maran."

The words of Lady Baerinika struck him as with heavy spiritual weight.
Acknowledgement from a divine being, propelling you even further on the path
of your determination. Acceptance in a way and reaffirmation of one's duty.
Lathlaeril finally sees a part of the reason why priests always speak so
reverently of their deity. If words merely spoken from such a distance had
such weight, how could one even imagine the true gravity of a divine one's
presence in the flesh.
