Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zappo" data-source="post: 29000" data-attributes="member: 633">"A luckstone?" Kerall takes the glowing blue stone from Archangel's hands. "Thank you, celestial one". He looks intensely at the stone, as if trying to see his future in it."I will need luck. And more than that, I will need a strong spirit". Kerall looks at the sun - it has moved quite a bit since that last encounter with the fiend. "Oh, Maelle... forgive me. I have failed. I have destroyed my life, and what for?"Kerall watches Nikodemus, and Sabaron, and Archangel. They hardly know me. I fought all of them. Yet, they are willing to give their most prized gifts and possession to help me. "If Heaven can forgive me, then maybe I should forgive myself, too...", he murmurs.Kerall stands up, holding the Luckstone in his right hand. The blue glow filters through his fingers. "Now I know what I must do"."I will no longer fight for a demon. I will from now on fight to reclaim my lost honor. Maelle's soul will be free to fly to the heavens. However... I cannot accept your offer, Nikodemus, Archangel. I will not attempt to cheat fate again. It has been a hard lesson, but I have learned that one must accept his destiny. I am not going to commit this mistake again".When Kerall stops talking, the wind suddenly increases its speed, carrying with it a low, evil voice: "You are insane, mortal. Fight for me and she will live. Challenge the celestial now. I will help you in defeating him".Kerall looks in the direction from which the voice comes, and says, simply: "No"."You are killing your daughter. Do you want her to die?"Kerall says nothing."The plague will kill her slowly and painfully. She will cry for you, but you will not be there".Kerall closes his eyes, and again says nothing. At which point, a young girl's voice is heard in the wind - she's crying "Dad!"."You bastard...", the ex-villain murmurs. Then, he grips the Luckstone tight, and, shouting louder than even the wind: "Go away! Vanish from my life, or come here and face the four of us! Coward! Be it the last action of my life, but I will find you and put an end to your evil! There's no place on Earth or Hell where you will hide from me!""You have made your choice. Servant." And then, the wind drops.</blockquote>
