[Mald]

As the time of war approached, an Umbral Knight of the Aphrosian Bastion remained shrouded in the shadows, diligently preparing. While others made their declarations, Lucius chose silence. However, as the clock ticked on and the challenges were issued, the Drakanite decided it was time to contribute his own words-

[/size]

"Sol, Eq, I've heard your calls, and I understand your determination. However, you both are still so young, and you are too fragile to bear this burden alone. I will continue to stand in front of the two of you and shield you, just as I've always done.

 

Lady Oracle, I'm truly sorry, but this time, I can't follow your wishes. I need to take a stand, to protect what's left, even if it means putting my life on the line. There are so many brave souls out there willing to fight, and it wouldn't be fair to abandon them on the battlefield when they're risking everything for Athelios' will. If I make it through this, I promise to come back to your side, but until then...

 

I will fight.

 

Not just as a member of The Bastion, but as an Enforcer of The Warden's Will.

 

Times are tough, and the situation is getting worse, but we have to keep pushing forward. 

 

Many of us will get hurt, and many more will lose their lives, but that's just a part of the cycle. 

And your people will find their way back to you in their next lives. 

 

It's all part of your will. May you guide us and those who come after us to a brighter future.

 

Ad Astra Per Aspera."

 

"Lyco, don't waste your time going after Xarxes; focus on the one who took your wife from you.

 

I'll take on your burden.

 

I'll face the overwhelming darkness that is Xarxes."

 

"To Xarxes,

 

You represent a timeless menace, the very antithesis of all we hold dear. Though I may be just a humble follower in your eyes, it matters not.

 

I've walked through life, narrowly evading death's grasp. 

 

You've torn Edward and Palade away from me just as I was building a bond with them. You've claimed countless lives from my people, and every single moment of your existence threatens us all.

 

Hence, I'll devote myself to halting your advance, even if it's only for the briefest of moments. Every second I can stall you will safeguard innumerable lives.

 

I will stand my ground, and you won't pass through me until I fall."

OBJECTIVE: FIGHT UNTIL THE DEATH
