It does indeed bring us to 4th.]Fendric looked around, angry. Angry that his turning didn't work, angry that he'd been protected like a princess, angry that his poor steed, Sunray, Pelor Bless Him to the Zenith of the Light! should be subjected to the brunt of the recent attack, angry that there was evil in the world, and further angry that it should select HIM, of all the middling halfbreed altarboys under the Sun, to pursue with such vexing vigor!So, like he had always been taught to do in that situation, he wiped the scowl from his face, knelt down, and consulted his God.Oh, God of Radiant Light, blessed be Thy Life-Giving Brilliance, I beseech Thee...And to his everlasting shock, clear as thunder in his mind, he heard a response.What is it, young Fendric?The voice sounded like Exantrius, but it couldn't have been. Fendric tried to collect himself. The others did not react, so they must not be able to hear. He heard himself continue, without speaking.My God, I fear that I am unworthy of the task before me, and this frustrates me. Powerful enemies are set against this noble cause, and they know of me, specifically, and of Niccolo, bless his noble little soul...Would it dampen your resolve if you knew who they were? Would you fear a name?Honestly, no, Your Radiance. I know I shouldn't, and we have resisted the serpents, and the rats, and the jackals. I thank Thee for that.Then I shall not give you a name, or the knowledge of who they are. Instead, I shall grant you an improvement. How do you wish to improve?Fendric thought on this for a while. He needed to choose wisely...Then it is done."I do not understand, Your Brilliance."No, not completely, My Child. But you understand a little more than you used to.As he finished the prayer, it dawned on Fendric just how he had been gifted, and at that moment, a ray of sunlight caught the beatific expression on his face. He stood, and walked over to gather his pack and Sunray.My Child? Try to be more patient with the Heironians...</blockquote>
