Chapter 3

One day, while visiting his family, Orios encountered a dire threat to
his villagea ferocious werewolf lurking in a hidden cave near Barovia,
the same creature that took Seraphon's life. The beast's malevolent
presence had cast a shadow of terror over the villagers for far too long.
With his azure blood sensing the wickedness within, Orios felt an
undeniable duty to confront this supernatural menace.
Entering the cave with unwavering resolve, Orios faced the werewolf in a
harrowing battle. The creature's feral strength and unholy resilience
tested him to his limits. In the midst of the battle, Orios channeled the
power of divinity, invoking the supplication known as "Wrath." Divine
energy coursed through his hands, transforming them into instruments of
righteous fury.
Despite the intense struggle, Orios emerged victorious, but not without
sacrifice. His sword, a trusted companion through countless battles, lay
shattered in the aftermath of the fight. It was a symbol of his
commitment to the Paladin Code, and its loss weighed heavily on his
heart.
With the realization that true power lay not solely in weapons but also
in faith and inner strength, Orios began to explore the path of the monk,
as Seraphon had once suggested. He focused on honing his body and spirit,
mastering the art of unarmed combat. Through this newfound discipline,
Orios sought to amplify his connection to Baerinika and harness the
divine energy within him to achieve great deeds, even without a blade in
hand.
This experience reinforced his belief that his calling was to provide
hope and justice to those who could not defend themselves, and it
deepened his commitment to upholding the Paladin Code, even in the face
of unforeseen challenges. His family's unwavering support and
understanding further strengthened his resolve to continue his relentless
pursuit of purity and righteousness.
