[RPG] [FEI][LoA] The Challenge

[w drix]

  Valius followed Maltheo into the pit, and walked to the far side where the rest of his armor was laid out.  Drawing his sword, he lay it across the scaly skin of some slain monster.  Kneeling down in front of his blade, his head barely crested the edge of the pit.
   
  As he knelt there he let his mind drift back in time.  Back past wars not set in the stones of history, past arguments and lost causes
.past victory and past defeat
.back to the first days after he arrived in this land.  It was in the region of Idaol where he had slain the monster whose skin now held his sword
a fight in which gave birth to his resolve to found the Guildhalls of blood and battle.  It was the moment that this beast had been killed that his resolve was set towards the goal of helping others to remain on the path of Honor
. in most of its varied forms.
   
  It had taken him some time to realize that not everyone’s view of honor could fit within the guild.  Those who believed that the vilest evils could be misplaced honor, and those with such great hate, could not find the warriors peace.  He did not hate Maltheo, not quite, but his anger and dislike of him was as near to hate as he had for any, other then those whose lives were dedicated to evil.
   
  “On the path of honor, the way to peace always resided in the aftermath of war.  Duels on the path are simply another battle to be fought.  Thru that fight the darker emotions of man are extinguished.” He quoted, and then looked up to the sky.
   
  “Lords of war, if today is my day
. welcome me into the halls of your realms
. feast with me, and watch as in your name I battle in the after.”
   
  He knew there were warriors plenty who waited for him in the after.  Warriors who fought beside, and against him in life.  Warriors who he counted as brothers of ~V~, and those of all sides which he had given a warriors rites of fire to speed their journey.  Perhaps Olwe Cuthalion, Shard, and Trenton would await him.
   
  Standing, he grasped his sword, and turned.
