[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 1721699, member: 761"] Tristram spurs Blackwind towards Uthar, as the sun reddens approaching the sea. His had not been a long travel, though he had been on patrol north of Thelgaard Keep when the messenger arrived to inform him of the court, and when he came back it was already too late to leave, so he waited for the following dawn. Galloping on the dusty road, his thoughts go back to the last court. He was called to tell the Council about Cadman's death, so that Aurnia could officially inherit his title and lands. Then he asked permission to take 'uth Rhys' as his family name, to honor his lost father, and explained his decision to keep on following the ways of mysticism. Tristram devotedly honors and prays to the deities of Light, but if he had to choose the one closest to his heart, it would have been Paladine, who sacrificed his immortality. He told the Council that by remaining a mystic, he bears the mourning for the fallen god, and he remains true to the way he was trained, looking within himself for the light of honor and wisdom, and the warmth of courage and valor. Since they seemed convinced back then, he hopes this issue won't be brought up again when he'll ask to be tested for the Sword. He wonders if Aurnia already passed some tests too. She has always been so quick of mind and wit, she could have already passed some wisdom tests, he thinks. And now she is so beautiful too. He left a cute girl going to the war, only to find a charming lady when he came back. He wishes Cadman could have seen her as she is now. That reminds him of the promise he made to his master and friend, to always protect her in his stead. It has been some weeks since he last seen her, but he often surprised himself thinking about her, her golden curls, her open smile... The reins snap, and Blackwind runs faster towards the town.
