Chapter 2

After suffering defeat at the hands of the rabid servant of Ergush - Pvask -
they both agreed to a sharing of piety in the Shadow Grove in the past.

Pvask shared that he followed the first law of Nature - that only the strong
survive. In response, Karnix said you were as only as strong as your
neighbors and family. Pvask countered that Karnix blindly followed laws, while
Karnix gently admonished Pvask that he wasn't a servant to Laws necessarily,
only the Light, and doing the right thing wasn't bound by any mortal Law.

After some back and forth, Pvask seemed content that whether Karnix knew it or
not, he followed the first Law. But Karnix was troubled - not by Pvask's
mistaken translation of Karnix's spirit, but by how blind Pvask was to his own
cruelty. He silently suspected that Pvask had been hurt by some trauma in the
past, and resolved to figure out what exactly had happened.

In the end, they parted with Pvask promising to continue hunting Karnix, while
Karnix contemplated on how to get Pvask to perform his own self reflection. Or
whether it was foolhardy to continue to try to convert Pvask, and whether some
rabid animals are best hunted themselves.
