Chapter 4

Days passed at their quaint home northwest of the Ruined City. Their father,
busy with rebuilding the Ruined City, camme home with a phoenix pendant,
presenting it to his brother and promising him that when the guild in Voralia
opened, he would gain entrance.To Arech, he could only offer a weak smile,
tainted with a mixture of pity and confusion.

And this burned and festered within Arech, whom had always spent longer in
prayer, longer studying, and whom had taken the greatest risks when fighting
the orc. And no matter how long, how hard he prayed, his prayers went
unanswered and the pain of his brother's blessing made him feel inferior.
And it was not long until he had decided that such insincere reward, surely,
must be a test for himself from the Skyborn.

Determined to right the wrong and prove himself to the Skyborn, he struck his
brother Echod down for his sins of Pride and Sloth. And the Skyborn did
notice, and marked him, darkening his skin.

Hurt once again by what he perceived as the fickle god, he left, wandering
without food nor water for several days, until he found himself, delirious
outside the guild of Anti-Paladins in Galadon, which welcomed him with open
arms and no questions, as if feeling his pain.
