Role

Chapter 33

The next four to speak on my behalf were Traebaurius, Prixm, Coqui, and Tarook.

Traebaurius was a centaur Squire who heard my story and wished to see me
redeemed. At first he requested to earn his testimony by defeating him within
the arena. I tried three times, each time becoming more capable but falling
short in winning the duel. Traebaurius was there for the rescue of the
androsphinx, and decided he had seen enough and changed his mind. He spoke of
my heart and my perseverance but ultimately it was my sacrifice that convinced
him to come forward.

Prixm was a saurian Scribe who would become one of my closest friends. I met
him young, early in the journey that would lead him away from the Fortress. He
requested we speak three times and that we did, where I learned of his story,
where he learned of mine, and where we spoke of the journey ahead for both of
us. The Light blessed me with his presence and friendship, and I would have to
repay it many years later in standing at his side when others doubted him, as
he stood by mine when so many doubted me.
