Some years have passed and my life as a Squire has been productive. I have
received good feedback from the Captain and other elders on my defense of the
Fortress. The blessings from the Spearmaiden seem to inspire me with
dedication and courage.I stand proud and am always ready to fight the
wicked. Lady Baerinika, the Pure has granted me further powers of Fortitude
and it has enabled me to punch my enemies with even more ferocity. I have
watched the captain and seen the capability of the hunt to its maximum.
However, I must show more restraint, as I am a paladin and must adhere to the
Paladin code.

In other matters, I have learnt more about my fathers companion, the one
that seduced him. A wicked dark-elf named Shalia. She is somewhat famous
and known for acts of cruelty, such as working in the slave trade. Acts of
greed, thefts and vandalism across all of Thera. Acts of manipulation, such
as corrupting my fathers mind. Murder of innocents for profit and sport.
Thinking about this dark-elf gets my heart pumping, my fists clenching.
There may be one good thing to come out of this, it has shown me a virtue
that I while already held, may be more important than I thought. While the
virtues of faith, hope, charity and temperance will always be a part of me.
There is no virtue that will satisfy my dedication as much, no virtue more
perfect to match my desire to hunt the wicked like that of the Jaguar. That
is retribution.The wicked must pay a cost for what they have done. Shalia,
just one example that must pay, albeit one that stokes my emotions a lot.
Nevertheless I will dedicate myself to the retribution of evil sins and make
them pay. I will do this while embracing all paladin virtues and the paladin
code and my duties as a Squire.There is much to follow and great
responsibility, I feel I have the dedication for this journey.
