Niko laughs suddenly, and all the other fighters gathered around look at him wondering if his mind has snapped.
"No friends, I am well. And I'm not laughing at you either friend Archangel, for I have already forgotten the name you spoke. In fact, all may be well in the end for I have just had a realization. Kerall, I will grieve for your daughter with you unless we can find a way to save her, but you yourself are not lost to the Demon."
"The demons only power over you now is your belief in his power over you. Listen to your own words telling what the demon said:"
" 'Will you reliniquish your honor to me?'. I accepted. 'Will you give me your soul?'. Again, I accepted. 'This is our pact, Kerall. You will fight. For every combat you win, I will keep Maelle healthy and alive for some more time.' "
"The pact you made was to fight in order to keep Maelle healty and alive. You have decided to stop fighting for him and let your daughter go and therefore your pact is finished. You gave him your honor and your soul for nothing in return, not as a price for helping Maelle. You can take them back just as easily. In fact, you have already done so, you just didn't realize it. You have now learned your lesson and made peace with the consequences of your actions. All the evil you did was after all for a selfless cause. You did it all for your daughter. If you have accepted that she must meet her destiny, then you can stop acting the villain any time you wish. Remember also that Maelle will not be alone in the heavens, she will be met at gates by her mother I'm sure.
"I can break the link between you and the demon with my Redeeming Light, for you have earned such redemption. In point of fact, you were only damned because you believed that you were. You would have guided your own soul right into the demons grasp just because you believed that it was part of the pact. Change that belief and let the Light of Redemption flow into you now, Kerall. It will return you to where you started from as a White belt, but you will then be free to choose your own destiny without influence."
Niko holds forth his hands for Keral to take if he decides to follow this course. "Do as thou wilt, Kerall."
