Chapter 7

With his path now set, all that was left was for Elokhi to follow it.

His time within the Academy was a blur, though memories of surprised and
confused adventurers remained imbedded in his memory. The guildmaster as well,
did little to hide his own curiosity. It had been quite some time indeed since
an Arial had followed this path.

But there was no denying it now. Elokhi Arun'otyl of Ayr'Trinil was.. a
Paladin. A champion of the Light.

Elokhi had promised himself he would never again hold his tongue in fear. He
would never again hold back from the true course, when he saw it before him.
It was that realization that saw him this far. And it was that promise that
drove Elokhi further.

He knew he must live up to the ancient, righteous symbol of his people. To
serve as a new example of what it truly meant to be Arial - not to live a life
of extravagance, but of righteous purpose. To stand against the wickedness he
had seen within his murderous brother, to fight against it wherever it might
be found.

Arial live short lives, but Elokhi was determined not to let his go to waste.
He would make Thera better, make it safer, that the innocent souls like his
sister could live the lives they deserved.

But he also knew he could not do it alone. Turning to the Gods above, there
was but one who could guide him to that purpose.. A figure of legend spoken in
reverence mirroring that of the late Skyborn. A fierce warrior Elf of
unquestioned courage and purity of purpose. The returned Spirit of the Jaguar,
Lady Baerinika.
