A Darkness Greater Than Light

Mihile! You seem troubled.

I am haunted, Empress. The more I find out about my father, the more lost I feel...

I have heard nothing but good tales of your fathers' bravery and loyalty. I didn't know him myself, but I would not discount the tales of those who had.

How can anyone ever live up to those stories, highness? You searched for a knight of ultimate purity... but you only found me.

I began the search for Chromile because of the stories, but I didn't expect any single man to live up to those tales. I only wanted a person I could trust, and that is exactly what I found. I found the Knight of Light, and I do not regret it.

Everyone keeps calling me that, but I don't see how you can be so sure. I don't remember anything about my childhood. What if I'm not the person you were trying to find?

Sometimes we must trust in things we cannot see. I feel the power of light inside you, Mihile. Please believe in me, if nothing else.

I do, highness, but... won't I be devoured by the darkness like Chromile?

Light and dark are part of a whole. Neither side should fear the other. Calm yourself and you will find the clarity you need to see past this crisis of faith.

I hope your sorrow and worries leave you soon.

I know times are difficult, but you must press on.

The Empress's words seem to have parted the clouds above my head. I think I can get back to my search.

I hope your sorrow and worries leave you soon.
