Chances are I'll never be able to introduce you to Lady Kaitlin
And entire initiative for Auxiliary fails
Is this a fear I hear?
Not really. No. I know my path. I will always try to return to her graces.
But strings are pulled by evil entities, something no Red Knight nor his clergy can devise any strategy against.
I only convey what seems to happen.
Well i have a strategy.
Woudn't want to mislead you
How about charging head in like tempurian barbarians?
grins
smirks At the worthy cause - why not but Tempus is not my choice.
Of course not. Tempurians charge in without planning. We plan to charge in.
I'm at peace with everything that happened. I know why it happened. You can only do as much. Then? It's matter of waiting for the world around you to react.
My punishment and repentence never was about the code, never about something I'd do or did not do.
I'm certain of it now.
Apolodgies if you hoped for more but some things are beyond me. I will not stop looking for a way but it looks somewhat bleak.
Just wanted you to know this. Hear the words.
When it does not look bleak?
Well - with you at my side it's slightly less so.
Thats the paladin I know!
Oh I never changed. I told you I will not abandon this path.
This is what Red Fellowship does. This is what the code was made for. To look for a way. Always.

I'm undergoing crusade tho.
Oh?
I didn't know it before a friend explained it to me. Did not notice.
I see echoes of those who came before us and those who were with us but have since crossed over to the other side. My brothers and sisters raised in faith. I hear them from beyond their deaths. They share their wisdom. I heed them.
he'd recite one of his random quotes
This world seen lots of abuse and vile treatment. It's crusade against that. For all the people that had to suffer through it and no longer can walk with us.
Time will come a new king will wield a scepter, he will look at past and exclaim:
Oh how awfull things were done by my predecesors
continues intonating in theatrical fashion But not us - we are better than rulers of the past
Heard those words before.
And so the new kings will wield the scepter, surrounded with his crowd of clappers, people cheering or throwing rot at any who'd opose.
yep, nothing new under the sun.
Only for another to come after him - look at the past again, nod and repeat words already told
And so - cycle of life continues
Our lives are worth nothing, lest we remember the sacrifices that bought them
another theatrical quote spoken in acted fashion
For them we must try. For them I will not surrender.
nods No surrender.
Sir Izaak, defenders of the Citadel, so many more, stories all over the coast.
So, when is this crusade happening?
Oh it's been going for a while now.
Sneaky crusades!
his voice suddenly colored with tone of jest. Smiled looking to the road ending in far horizon
Wanted to say you better prepare for it, but since it already started.. Well, i will just say expect the unexpected.
I feel I've prepared as well as can be. Especially now that you know
My faith is without compromise. I will not weaver.

Rhanea - my Knight Commander told me I did not have to allow that. Ignored all circumstance
She claimed it was Red Knight speaking through her. I have my doubts
She said Red Knight expects of me to be a Paladin first and strategist second.
But it's not a damned Paladins duty to stop follower of evil faith from performing altruistic deeds
It's not Paladins duty to stop followers of evil gods from breaking their own dogma
My duty was to try to show people error of their ways - yes. I did that. Or more likely as much as I could
Cannot stop a man from believing his own lies.
No matter how I look at it I see no infraction of the code.
[...]
So you see - it was never about the code, never about something I'd do or would not.
You're smart - you can answer yourself about what it was about.
Hmm.. am not, but i would guess it is somehow related to your knight commander.
Been trying to bow down for too long. It just does not work.
Are you planning something, commander?
Oh it's plan in action. Crusading.
We'll see how it goes. Probably not to well but I did not become Paladin to tolerate evil just to have it easier in life.
looks to the sky Dawn nears.
Tired?
Not really. Real Red Knight gives me strength.
