Someone tells you 'Do you seek me?'
You eat a bird of paradise flower.
Your eyes tingle.

You tell Libera 'Balan not see you till you speak.'

Libera tells you 'Do what you will, I have no love for what the Legion has become. Gaelyn has perverted its true goal.'

You tell Libera 'Balan no unstan.'
 
Libera tells you 'Gaelyn has made the Legion into something it shouldn't be. And I plan to change that.'
You tell Libera 'Change how?'
 
Libera tells you 'By defeating Gaelyn.'



-At this point I seek him out and we skirmish once briefly.-



[KNIGHT] Olyn: 'Bring Libera to the Light.'

[KNIGHT] (General) Balan: 'Bring to light?  Not purify?'

You tell Libera 'Balan want talk.'

[KNIGHT] Olyn: 'Convert him.'

[KNIGHT] (General) Balan: 'Balan do best can.'

Libera tells you 'We will meet at the Shrine of Soluminus.'

You stop wielding 'Leese-Breaker', the Demolition Axe of the Barbarian.

You stop wielding a bastard sword.

You rumble 'Balan come in peace.'

Libera nods.

Libera says 'When my ward falls, I shall remove mine as well.'

You rumble 'Balan curious why choose this place meet?'

Libera says 'I figured you'd know where this is over other places easier.'

Libera says 'And I was close.'
  
Libera says 'Speak your peace.'

You rumble 'Balan listen to what said.'

You rumble 'Balan think maybe other way.'

You rumble 'Balan not want fight, Balan always want peace, but Balan tect others.'
 
Libera nods.

You rumble 'Balan know Libera legion, but wonder if there might be other way?'

Libera says 'Another way to what?'

You rumble 'Not have fight.'

You rumble 'Balan want know about Libera first.'

You rumble 'Want know story.'

You rumble 'Want tell?'

Libera says 'Well, I wasn't from this world originally. I fell into it. I have always been one with lightning. Never ruling it, but guiding it.'

You rumble 'Lord Olyn see something in Libera, Balan want see too.'

You nod.

Balan gestures for you to continue.

Libera says 'When I left my old world and fell into this one, I washed up to Darkhaven.'

You nod.

Libera says 'And things happened from there. I was going to either join the Mystics or the Legion, which ever called harder in life.'

You rumble 'What happen that make choose Legion?'

Libera says 'Turns out when I went to just put an application in to legion, not but a few days later, I was inducted by Nycticora at her descretion.'

You frown disapprovingly.

You rumble 'Libera like kill?'

Libera shakes his head.
 
Libera says 'More of a scholar.'

You rumble 'Why want be part of kill then?  Say dat what legion about.  Kill or enslave.'

Libera raises an eyebrow.

You rumble 'Balan not yet meet a Legion who not want or enjoy kill others.'

You rumble 'Balan say that not nice.  Balan fight so others not get killed.'

You rumble 'Balan sad have kill to tect, but do what have do for God.'

You rumble 'Balan strong.'

Balan flexes his muscles briefly.

Libera says 'I don't enjoy killing.'

You rumble 'Balan able fight.'

Libera says 'I have only slain another to protect myself.'

You rumble 'Balan not enjoy, but have skill given by God.'

Libera says 'I'm probably one of the worst fighters in Legion.'

You rumble 'Balan wonder if might consider another way?'

Libera frowns.

You rumble 'You want fight Gaelyn, want stop Gaelyn.'

You rumble 'Why have do that as Legion?'

You rumble 'If not like kill, would not Libera like kill to tect like Balan?'

Libera says 'If I slay and beat him, I'd prove my worth to become Forsaken, and then could become the Forsaken to end this nonesense.'

You shake your head.

Libera says 'What Gaelyn and Nycticora plan to do is take the world by storm. They seek out Solace. They are going to destroy it through sheer numbers and force.'

You rumble 'Balan think another would come.'

You shake your head.

You rumble 'Won't happen.'

You rumble 'Knights will stand by others to stop legion.'

You rumble 'Legion has few strong fighters, not many.'

Libera solemnly nods.
 
Libera says 'Mmm, its not always those that fight, but those that aid that can be an issue.'

You rumble 'Balan strong, Tuston Strong, Euriah Strong, Fynth Strong.  Balan know there lots others, but not know all of them.'

Libera nods.

You quaff a potion of detect invis.
Your eyes tingle.

Libera fades into existence.
  
Libera chuckles politely.

Libera says 'You could have asked.'

Libera says 'I forget how long it lasts.'

You rumble 'Balan not like not see if others might sneak up on Balan.'

Libera nods.

You rumble 'Would rather be prepare.'

Libera says 'If it is possible. I will stand by the Knights, regardless if I am one or not.'

You rumble 'Balan kind of see what Lord Olyn see.'
 
Libera says 'Gaelyn was once a Knight.'

You rumble 'Balan say could come to light.'

You frown disapprovingly.

You rumble 'Gaelyn was broken inside afore become Knight.'

Libera says 'He was seduced.'

Libera nods.
 
Libera says 'I hope, that through this, I will find redemption.'

Libera says 'If it must be that I shall be smitten to the brink of death. I will do it.'

You rumble 'Balan want teach Libera be better.'

You rumble 'Balan say shadow never too much.'

You rumble 'Always a ray of light stands out.''

You rumble 'Balan ask if unstan what Balan say?'

You rumble 'Balan knowh hard to unstan sometime.'

You beckon for everyone to follow.
  
Libera says 'I think I understand, but I'm not too certain.'

Libera stands up.

You rumble 'Balan want show something.'

You mount a blue Asc'Liena stallion.


-From here, I lead him to Valour, where we walk around a bit through this next part.-


You dismount from a blue Asc'Liena stallion.

You give a Knight of the Holy Cross a respectful salute.

You rumble 'Look Valour.'

You rumble 'See how clean city is?'

You give a Knight of the Holy Cross a respectful salute.

You rumble 'Look how happy they are?'

You tip your hat to Kanizier the noble.
Kanizier the noble gallantly tips his hat to you.

You bow before her.
Annalee the dame says 'No need to be nice to me.'

You rumble 'Balan always try be nice.'

You smile happily.

You rumble 'See what Balan say?'

Libera nods.

You rumble 'City is bright, people happy.'
 
Libera says 'Certainly better than Darkhaven.'

You rumble 'Feel air.'

You rumble 'Balan hate go in Darkhaven.'

You rumble 'Air smell bad.'
 
Libera closes his eyes and takes a deep, refreshing breath.

You rumble 'Feeling in air.'

You rumble 'Make Balan feel sad.'

You rumble 'This not like that.'

You rumble 'This home.'

Libera frowns.

Libera says 'It is a pity, I washed up on Darkhaven's docks and not here.'

You rumble 'This could be Libera home too.'

Libera blinks innocently.
  
Libera says 'I'd like that.'

Libera looks at Gahnim.

You rumble 'Say No Legion.'

You rumble 'Renounce them.'

You rumble 'Pledge life to Lord Olyn, and to the Light.'

Gahnim says 'It's a trap!'

You rumble 'Not trap.'

You rumble 'Maybe one day Libera could be Knight.'

You rumble 'Could fight like Balan to tect.'

You rumble 'Could help Knights stop Gaelyn and the war that will soon come.'

You rumble 'Could know peace.'

Libera says 'Regardless if I become one or not. I will stop the war he wishes to bring.'

You rumble 'It never too late.'

You rumble 'Want give try?'
  
Libera nods.


-We walk to the Altar of light where Olyn is with Aleavial.-


Libera nods at Olyn.

You bow before him.

You rumble 'Hail Lord.'

Aleavial bows deeply.

You rumble 'Balan bring this one before you.'
 
Olyn says 'Do you forsake Gaelyn, Nycticora, and the dark army of the legion?'

Libera says 'I do.'

Aleavial smiles happily.

You dazzle Libera with your smile.

Olyn says 'Is it your wish to embrace the Light of the Heavens, and to walk in that light in the city of Valour?'
 
Libera says 'It is do that and more.'

Libera says 'I wish to protect others.'

Olyn says 'Forsaking the lord Darkhan?'

Libera says 'And to guard them with my life.'

Libera says 'I forsake the Dark Lord Darkhan and follow his path and teachings no more.'

Olyn says 'And do you wish to ally yourself with Valour and its teachings, its Code, and its citizens?'

Libera says 'I do.'

Olyn has granted Libera the rank of noble.

Libera says 'The road will be long, and hard. But it must start.'

[KNIGHT] (General) Balan: 'Welcome!'
 
[KNIGHT] (Noble) Aleavial: 'Welcome Libera.'
  
[KNIGHT] Olyn: 'May Valour's light bless you.'
  
[KNIGHT] (Noble) Aleavial: 'I will return when I can General.'
 
Aleavial bows deeply.

You rumble 'Balan is always here to answer any questions Libera have.'

You rumble 'Want help Libera as much as can.'

Gahnim says 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'

Gahnim winks suggestively.

You rumble 'Dat not what happen here.'
 
Libera peers intently at Gahnim.

Gahnim says 'How can you trust a traitor, though?'
  
Gahnim scratches his head, looking very confused.

You rumble 'The light is here for all.'

You rumble 'No one too far gone.'
