We say many things that are wrong. My friend has shown me much, and my eyes are opened now. He has shown me how much I could accomplish if I were king instead of Bard.

- 'Oh! What a fool I have been. And to think he had near convinced me to kill my own brother. Did you see? He gave me the knife to do it with. Bah! I can barely look at the awful thing. What sorcery did Akshir cast upon me? What shall I do? Flee in exile and never return?'
