Chapter 2

She was beautiful. It seemed like an eternity as she stared into his eyes.
Afterwards they had an incredibly long conversation where she explained who she
was and how his family had been swindled.

She explained how the man had done the same to many families. How he'd taken
their farms and destroyed families by pushing interest rates higher in times of
famine and crisis.

Wickedness, the great indicator of true evil. Sometimes it is subtle and
sometimes not but it should always be combatted. Indifference of good people
in the presence of demonstrative acts is hurtful.

As the hours of her sermon turned into days, then weeks, she finally disclosed
to him what initially caught her attention, Mana. It lurked behind his eyes
and although the aura was faint, it was there.

After taking on some of her more ardent traits, he even found that he wanted to
do something about the darkness present in the world himself. It was then that
he enlisted in the Galadonian academy.

Of the great magical schools, transmutation, conjuration, invocation, and
shapeshifting only the latter ever really intrigued him. Having been weak most
of his life, magical enhancement sounded good.

So, without hesitation, he walked to the guild master and joined the stable.
It was then that he realized that his savior had left him with a parting gift.
Courage, the ability to do what's needed.
