It felt great being freed. Zaxl thanked Yuna and I was highly thankful for her as well.
"Thank you, Yuna!" I exclaimed.
"Of course," her soothing voice replied.
"Yuna? I asked.
"Yes?"
"Do you ever get sad?"
"All the time, why?"
"I feel sad here, yet I do not know why." I frowned.
"You miss Colmer, I understand."
"I just wish things could be normal again."
"What is normal" to you?" she asked, curious.
"Before I knew about Maelfor," I admitted.
"So you would rather be ignorant?"
"Well, no..."
"Then be happy you know about him because most people do not."
"I do not know how to stay strong anymore." I cried.
"Nonetheless you remained faithful."
"I was always tempted to do evil," I admitted.
"We all are."
"Even you?"
"Even me."
"What stops you?"
"My conscience," she explained.
"Something Maelfor doesn't have," echoed.
"He just does not care."
"That's even worse."
"He is amoral. He does not recognize evil because he knows not good," she grimly spoke.
"We need to stop him!" I shouted.
"Who are you talking to, Arthur?" Zaxl asked in confusion.
"Yuna," I explained.
"She is not easy to talk to," Zaxl said in a tone of annoyance.
"Excuse me, Zaxl?" Yuna spoke out loud.
"Sorry, Mother."
"No matter, you will continue on your journey."
"Where to?" I asked.
"The Ishak mountains."
"Why there?"
"You can get a bladefang tooth there."
"What are we needing that for?" Jethro asked.
"We are raising the dead."
