I left my hometown and its dumb, outdated traditions to come to the great city of Elysion. With my incredible and awe-inspiring skills, I can work as a mercenary and save up a bunch of cash in no time! |

The vow made between a maiden and a knight standing in front of the holy chalice is a power strong enough to protect the country. …Or at least that's what the saps back home believe. But not me, no way! A true man can't buy into that kind of bullshit. That's right-bullshit! |

The thing is… I used to have this childhood friend. She was a sickly little crybaby, but with a real heart of gold. Ever since I was a kid I'd looked out for her. And once I was old enough, we promised to make our vow in front of the holy chalice-the vow between a maiden and a knight. But…okay. So, yeah, I know I'm not the classiest guy around. And maybe I've made a few mistakes, acted out a couple times-for good reasons, I might add! Either way, to err is qsiti, to forgive divine, right? Well, guess that saying's just pretty talk, 'cause I couldn't get accepted as a knight. I kept trying, but her illness just kept getting worse. She died before we could make our vow. She left this world, disappointed in me, all because of that stupid tradition. So I smashed the holy chalice! |

I was supposed to make a vow with a friend but she died, disappointed in me. If there hadn't been that stupid tradition, then… Dammit! |

So… Deep down, I know that no matter how old and stupid they may be, blaming tradition for everything isn't right. It was my own fault that I couldn't become a knight before she died. I just didn't want to face the truth, so I took it out on something else. It just hurts so much to think of how I let her down… But I've gotta face my demons. I've gotta start living a life that I can be proud of-that she would be proud of. Thanks for listening, Rush. I can see clearly now. I can't dwell on the past anymore. I owe you one. |
