 nd the day came when there was but two,
Ferris and I. Both of us had watched our comrades fall,
fighting till the end. Both of us had gone through
innumerable experiences and tortures, each more trying
than the previous. We were becoming battle-weary, sore,
tired, and even afraid. That night we slept fitfully,
each of us with a sense of impending doom, knowing our
own deaths lay in the near future. erris and I, who had become close at this
point, as one would expect, fought valiantly for several
days, cheating death several times, until Ferris fell,
his wounds beyond my healing capabilities.

Screaming in
anger, I somehow found the energy to finish off the group
we were facing, and rushed to his side. I could see him
smiling as the life left his body, each dying breath
bringing him one step closer to the Godly Planes, where
Ziose awaited him. And, like the other ten, his body
disappeared in a flash as his dying breath left him,
transported finally to his deity, and I envied him.  was now alone,
one priest against an entire army, and my Faith began to
waver. At these odds, I remember thinking to myself, not
even Galan could be victorious!
