The Exarch keeps his focus on the fight, but his answer comes quickly. “If he was being ‘called’, and in the same circumstances as I first called Felih, ‘tis plain his time faces oblivion regardless. A different Warrior of Light is not enough to make up for my failings.”

He turns away, tapping his staff against the floor and dispelling the image, not even waiting for the decisive blow - there is no question as to whether they will succeed against Philia, after all, he just wanted to see Felih in motion again, bright and young and alive.

“I do not know how he came here, or how to send him home. Why not have him share the burden?”
