As a warrior, Pavel was no stranger to pain. Still, this was pain beyond any he had experienced. However, Pavel had been in similar situations, where the only alternative to pushing forward was to falter and die. Still, the acid, and the lightning, were travails beyond any he had faced in the past. Then came the poison and the burning of his flesh. Finally, the burning of his flesh was replaced by the freezing.<br/><br/>Pavel lost track of where his mind and body ended as the entire world appeared to be nothing more than endless sensations of pain. The order "Seize the Gem" was a whisper in the Rune Knight's ear. Pavel instinctively reached out for the crystal. Then the world went dark.<br/><br/>Pavel awoke. His first thoughts and actions were for the two young women - Fifi and Talli. He checked that they were healthy before turning to face the old man - the spirit of the Conquerer Dromar.<br/><br/>Pavel was unable to reply before the figure faded out. However, turn to the space the spirit had occupied and bowed<strong>"Thank you, Lord Dromar. Your challenges were both test and training. As the saying goes - the sword is forged in the heat of the furnace and the Warrior is forged in the heat of battle. Here, I have learned things about myself. I have learned that I must be willing to sacrifice all that I am for a larger goal."</strong><br/><br/>Pavel turned to his two companions,<strong>"Come, we have a village to save. Let us rejoin our companions at the entrance and then head back to the village. Hopefully none will have succumbed to the disease before we can return with the chalice."</strong>
