Chapter 3

Hoshkean has met the strange pilgrim, Lalois Rershanfur. She studies
faiths, and is fascinated by the event that led to Hoshkean's creation
and those like him. He likes her. Her....liveliness. Hoshkean believes
the she knows even more thans he lets on.

She has said to him, and explained some, of what he is. That he is a
mortal manifestation of Shokai itself, and has been since his creation.
And obviously, the other Avatars are similar.

Wranilig, the Avatar of Aarn. And Oranthelu, Corrlaan's Sworn, have both
drifted into obscurity. Hoshkean has heard of others. Names of the
wicked. He worries that those who represent the Light's Lords are
outmatched by those who represent the Wicked's. However, he is commited
to living out his life in it's entirety. He also has a desire to lead the
Fortress. And witht he Marshall's persisting absense he believes this may
be attainable. Hoshkean wants to help those of the Fortress with their
War, as the war itself is cathartic for him. Thinking about his creation,
is stressful.

He is scared that Miripirisir, a gnomish researcher for Ishuli, is going
to decide after all his blood tests, that he can force Hoshkean and the
others back into the Lyceum for good. But this cannot happen. Hoshkean
must remain in Thera, to fight the Wicked. Who better to oppose the
machinations of Beroxxus, Lyristeon, or Eshval than the manifestation of
Shokai?

And finally, Lalois Rershanfur's last words echo in his mind. As he
drifted from the Graveyard of the Gods to the Land of the Living, she
called out to him that "the truth is yours to do with what you will"

But Hoshkean isn't sure what the truth is. He has set his eyes to
fighting the wicked, no matter what comes. Wheter it be a manifestation
of Beroxxus or the foul Palace north of Balator, or something of the
future- he will bear the Phoenix's flames against them until his last
breath.
