Thurien awakes and for a moment believes it to have all been a dream, then he fins the mace beside him and the realization dawns on him. he begins to weep, for than mean that it wasn't a dream and the horrors of the cathedral were real, the tragedy wasn't merely his own nightmare, but a nightmare the whole land must live under for years.
Still, he now had a sense of purpose, the saint had given him a gift, one greater than Marstan, he had given Thurien a purpose, a focus for the gift he had. That sense of duty and purpose, reinvigorated the young man. Thurien shot up out of bed for his morning devotions, even more joyous than usual to see the sunrise.
As he finishes, he quickly dresses, arms himself physically, mentally and spirtually and heads to the Drunken Lord, excited to have been chosen to help restore Light to the land.
