Chapter 8

" Hello Gukao,

I bet you are surprised to hear from me so late
in life? Don't be. It was all for your own good
and betterment. You have not exactly been the
model Paladin; and you have suffered much.

But, you've finally made it to the status that
my voice lifts from these pages to speak to
you. I am Elder Ghast'el; your grandfather but
more importantly a priest of the Thirteeen. It
was not by chance you finally found you way &
prior to this moment, you simply were not
ready.

You were born to a dark family of drows, and
a slave you were to them. As with any master
or dark influence, they poured taint into you
as a child, and you were abused to the degree
that you were forced to be what they wished
and ordered you to be.

But sacrifice was made to free you; my sacrifice
by rescuing you and succumbing to my wounds
in the process. You survived, but took a blow
to the head as we fled, falling down a mountain
in taken in by the Guildmaster of Galadon.

With no knowledge of your past, you merely
acted on what you instinctly knew; but not
anymore. You are a Ghast'el. A powerful beacon
of Light and Passion.

So I leave you with this my grand-son.

Find the Lord Whyisdan, earn your reputation
and once again, bring glory to our home. I
leave you only with that and the love that all
of the Light has to offer."
