[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 2312848, member: 726"] Here's the multipart answer. (Jackylhunter, stop reading if you want a reason to go back and read the whole thing. :)) Remember first that One Certain Step is only with the Company in the first place to fulfill a prophecy. According to that prophecy he needs to "be the one in the lightless room." Also (he thinks) he is doomed to die there. Jump forward to the battle with the Nightmare Beasts in the cave, early on in Het Branoi. Step was killed in that battle, and upon his death his body left behind a small smear of light that quickly faded. After Morningstar resurrected him, Step knew more about what he had to do. When a Paladin of Kemma dies, the light he leaves behind is proportional to his purity of spirit, his "goodness," if you will. Step realized that he had slipped from the true path of Kemma, particularly in the episode where they slaughtered the giants who lived near the Het Branoi tower. That is why the light from his death was so paltry. In the "Lightless Room," Step thinks, he's going to die, and will need to provide as much light as possible upon his death. In order for that to happen, he'll need to atone first, to repent of his sins and become pure in the eyes of the Sun Goddess. Make sense? -Sagiro [/QUOTE]
