| On the bottom of a hill, around four dozens of men dressed in dark colors circumvent it while staring at its top, carrying lit torches as the sun falls in the sky.
On the top of the hill, a small group of figures with lighter colored clothes chat by the large pyre waiting to be ignited. "The evil spirits should have been cleared by now", a feminine voice comments, with a hint of worry. "But by your tone they may not", a masculine one replies, smiling. "Indeed, should we sacrifice another goat? Perhaps in the moon-shaped rock?" "A peasant boy told me he knew about an abandoned cave with leftovers from small animals not far away from here." "How could have we missed it?" "The locals have had years of advantage to better know the region, it is no mystery." "Maybe sacrificing a pork...?" "Raising your bet?", Torpius comments with a laugh, "You are this temple's Spark Guardian after all, Priestess Nathalie, so it is up to you". "No, a goat should suffice", Nathalie answers, regaining the security in her tone. "I would stay to enjoy this pleasant weather, but see those people in there?" Torpius points to the horizon, in where a crowd looks at the coming spectacle with curiosity. "Well, most of them want to know what is going on, and are ready to accept the divine truths, but will not if someone does not turn that potentiality into act..." He adds, while casually taking of a ring and throwing it into the pyre. "But your eminence, the ceremony is about to start..." The priestess protests. "I have already made my sacrifice for this temple-inauguration ceremony" Torpius replies sighing. "There is nothing left for me to sacrifice now, you will do fine without me, Lady Krauss... Or should I say Lady Godfrey?" He adds with a wink and a bow while walking away. | |

| [The Pass few days of Casimir's Journey]
"Sir Casimir." Captain Stephan calls as they march from Ciarin Tut to Garuck Udor. "Yes Captain. What is it you are summoning me for?" Asked Casimir Knowing his orders would lead him to someone he's been thinking about since they left to fight monsters. "Sir we have 10hours Travel before we get to Shinnen Purlieus." His captain said riding along side his Knight. "Are you telling me we are behind Captain?" Casimir asked as if not terribly concerned. "No sir, I am reporting the length we have left sir." His Captain looked Casimir in the eyes as if trying to see if Casimir was Concerned or he was Faking his disappointment. "Captain what have I told you about trying to study me?" Casimir Looked at his Captain unaffected by his stare. "Sir, You said that how ever long that I look at you that I will never figure out that you are being Serious or Entertaining." His captain dropped his stair remembering. "Did I tell you to stop Captain?" Casimir kept his stare on his captain knowing he has won whatever Battle that a man could win to another man. "Sir, I am your captain It is not my right to try to figure you out." His captain said head still lowered. "Captain You have to learn to look me in the eyes. I don't mind that you try to study me. That is what is going to keep you alive and not dead. But do not stare at me when I am not looking back at you." Casimir said as if trying to point out something to his captain. "Yes sir." His captain looked back up into his Knight's eyes. And for a second thought he knew what his Knight ment. "Get the men ready We Still have hours away before we reach Shinnen Purlieus. I want them in top shape when we arrive. I expect alot out of you Captain. Lets' Lead togeather and I'm sure you will learn." Casimir placed his hand on his Captains' shoulders to encourage him more. His captain nodded and left to ready the men for the lasting of the March to Shinnen Purlieus. "Oh to see My Nathalie and Her Daughter who named my horse.." He thought and smiled. [Meanwhile in Shinnen Purlieus a few days Earlier] "Mommy, Is it alright I go and play?" Asked Stefanie. "Yes, But come back before the sun lowers." Said the Priestess. "Yes Mommy." Stefanie left without saying another word. She walked to the hill where the First Sacrifice was done by Her mother Nathalie and the new Priest Torpius of Aetheris Pyrism. To Stefanie it looked like some people where having a large fire she really didn't understand what that site was truly about or for. She didn't know that was where the First Sacrifices where made and since no one told her that she couldn't play up there she did just that. She gathered twigs, Flowers, Leafs, rocks, Played in the ashes of the sacrifices Stirring the dirt Picking up more rocks and finding a Clump of dirt with a large greenish-bluish stone shining dimly in the shadow of the trees. Upon seeing the Stone she placed everything she had in a Basket she found on her way up the Hill. Reaching out to touch the ring it shocked her but when she tried again it let her pick it up. "Mommy would know how to clean up this rock." She said putting it into her basket and continued looking around gathering flowers for her mom and hoping to see Sir Casimir again. "He told us he would be back. I have to believe that he will." She said to herself. "Mommy misses him so much." She danced around the top of the hill tell the sun started to go down and it started to get dark. She picked up her basket filled with rocks and flowers and walked home like her mother told her to do she was home before dark. "Stefanie, Come eat your just in time for Dinner." She heard her mom yell. "And leave your findings by the door I don't want it to be like last time when you brought home worms and they where everywhere." "Yes Mommy." Stefanie said leaving her findings by the door and ran to the table to sit down and eat. "Your a mess Stefanie!" Nathalie was in total shock. "Stefanie Hurry upstairs and fix yourself up." "Yes Mommy." Stefanie hurried upstairs and cleaned herself up a bit before returning to her mother and the food on the table. "That's better." Nathalie said. They started to eat dinner and Having not eaten almost all day Stefanie was quite hungry. "Mommy, This is really good. After this I want to give you your flowers I found for you." Stefanie said happily. "Flowers huh. Did you collect alot of them?" Nathalie smiled. "Yep and I need your help in cleaning up a rock i found mommy." Stefanie said with a smile. "Yes after we have eaten." Nathalie said with a smile. | |

[After Dinner] "Mommy here's your flowers and heres the rock I found." Stefanie said with excitement. "Oh thank you for the flowers Lets see what kind of rock you found sweetheart." Nathalie took the rock and started to clean it realizing who it looked like it belonged too. "Stefanie, Where did you find this ring?" Nathalie asked. "On top of a Hill mommy." Stefanie explained. The ring was made from a metal called "silver gold" and had a dog with something indistinguishable on his back carved, a large greenish-bluish stone, and had a motto: "frangar sed non flectar" Though this one had an Odd shape P and H in front and behind of the Motto as if scratched into on accident. "This ring belongs to Someone I know Stefanie. I will have to show him it. I'm not sure if he'll let us keep it." Nathalie explained. "Momma." Stefanie started to cry. "But I was the one that found it." "Sweetheart, It belongs to someone else. I will make sure that that person knows you Found it. Now off to bed we'll talk about this in the morning." Nathalie hugged her daughter. "I love you sweetheart. Please understand that I am not taking the ring away from you but I should show it to the Owner of such a marvelous ring." Nathalie walked her daughter to her bed and tucked her in. "Goodnight sweetheart." "Night mommy." She replied and fell to sleep. Nathalie walked downstairs to the table where the ring laid. "Wonder what he's going to think of this? He did throw it in the fire but it wasn't harmed? It was hot enough to melt most metals. My late husband would of been so proud. I wonder where Casimir is I hope he's OK. What will he think of me being a priestess? So much to talk about when I see him next." She went to bed waiting to talk to Priest Torpius in the morning... | |

Conversion of Mormeg Garayoa

| The battles in the North had left Mormeg an emptyness he couldn´t understand. This wasn’t the first battlefield he had been in nor the first time he had spilled blood. He liked destroying Luria Nova’s enemies, his enemies.
Yet he felt empty, alone, logic couldn’t even begin to describe his feelings. Explaining them was tough too. He had never been good at expressing feelings to himself. Shinnen Purlieus wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. Just another place of the many he had been visited. Then he saw, in the middle of the night, torches on the top of a hill. There was a temple far away enough to be unnoticed but close enough to hear some whispers. At the doorstep he felt warmth run throughout his body just to extinguish a second later. He had never experienced such thing and in search for more, he closed the distance to the temple’s entrance. That time he felt it better, bigger, warmer. It was just like having a fire burning inside. Finally, he entered the temple determined not to turn back. He would learn to understand himself better by understanding first the gods and flame of Aetheris Pyrism... | |

Conquering of the Smokey Hills

| Levon left his men back in the small central village in Smokey Hills, where they were helping the small population recover from the days of continuous anarchy. They have befriended the locals rather well, and all Lurian troops were tasked with rebuilding the mills, mines and roads for this communion of hunters that were soon to embrace the Lurian Crown.
Parting ways from the crowd and bringing only several guards with him, he isolates himself from others in order to examine the terrain. Seeking good tactical positions for defense was his duty, after all. Slowly riding through the hills of this new province he was tasked to conquer for the Crown, Levon observes the nature around him. Much was destroyed. The green was devastated and the small rivers he occasionally stumbled upon were almost dry. "The hand of Ukhra has ruled this place for too long", he mutters. As he was about the curse the nothingness and chaos of Ukhra, he quickly stops, remembering the warnings that the monks gave him about even mentioning the name of the unholy one. Levon was godfearing enough not to meddle with the evocation of Ukhra and his rise from his dormant position. Reaching the outskirts with his small entourage he observes the horizon to the west. Scouts reported a large gathering of beasts in Moon Bay. The legions of Fz'Ar and Najch'Akuy were only around 250 miles away, and although his scimitars have tasted their blood before numerous times, he makes a short prayer to Nemordiabel to protect these hills at least until such a time when the takeover is done. When the observation of the most important tactical positions were done, Levon and his entourage start their trek back. Commotion and panic meets them upon their return, as the peasants and soldiers were seemingly wanting to hit something from afar. Peasants were throwing rocks and other rubbish but they were clearly out of range. His own sharpshooters gave it a go, too, but even their keen eagle eyes could not hit the black shape that was running away from them, seeking salvage in the hills. "What is it?" Levon cries. "A single monster, my Lord", his faithful Captain Engelhart replies. "The beast ate two farmers and destroyed an entire field of grain. Somehow he eluded our guards. My apologies, my Lord, I have no idea how..." With a sharp movement of his hand Levon silences the Captain and motions for the bow and arrow, and the Captain quickly hands them to him. Levon was never a great shooter, still, he felt an inner fire firmly guiding his hands. As the crowd of enthusiastic peasants and soldiers gather around him in awe, Levon screams to the sky. "Almighty rulers of the heavens, hear my plea! I pray to you, oh mighty god Korroth, to imbue this arrow with a celestial fire that will burn the beast trying to escape your vengeance, and to give this bow the strength of hundred men so that my arrow can reach this follower of Fz'Ar! I pray to you, divine Tyka, to guide my hand so that my arrow hits with precision, and that upon its fall the harborer of Ukhra is no more!" With that, he fires the arrow away and keeps the gaze on his prey. Several minutes later, scout reported the beast to be dead, mortally wounded by a single shot from an amazing distance. | |
