Lorena's POV:

I finish cleaning up my blanket and all of my stuff to get ready to leave. It's been a little awkward lately due to the fact that Laurence, Garroth and Dante haven't really talked to each other. I shake my head if the thought. I step out of the Castle and see Malachi standing at the gate.

'He must be so excited to leave.'

I walk up to Garroth to see if he's ready to go.

Garroth: "Lord Lorena... I hate to be the one to break the news to you but... we have a major issue with Malachi."

"Is everything okay?"

Garroth: "No. Malachi... he can't leave this Castle."

"Huh?"

Garroth: "I fear his soul is so spiritually attached to this place... he is saying he wants to leave and come with us, he's even crying about it - saying he doesn't want to be alone... but he just can't walk past the Castle walls."

"That's horrible! What do we do?"

Garroth: "I... I don't know. I'm not a Monk or a Priest that specializes in this kind of stuff. What I do know is that Malachi wants to see you. Please go to him."

I nod my head and start walking as I also see Laurence with a sad look. I walk up to him.

Laurence: "This is horrible. He wants to leave and he has people who care about him, enough to take him in... but he just can't leave."

"Garroth says we'd need to consult a Monk or Priest."

Laurence: "Hm, Garroth is right... Malachi's spirit might have to be exorcised from this Castle. I don't think any of us here are able to do that unless Dante over there happens to be a trained Monk or Priest... * Sigh * I can't help but feel for the kid...

Lord Lorena... I know I came looking for you but... you have Garroth and if we can't find a way for Malachi to leave, I'd like to have your permission to stay behind and be with him. At least until you save Logan - I know we need to get to Logan first... um, seeing as he's still living and all..."

"I'm not sure what to do..."

Laurence: "For now, go talk to Malachi - he's already seemed to form a very strong bond with you."

I nod my head walking towards Dante who also seems to have a concerned look for Malachi.

Dante: "Lorena, I'm sure Garroth and Laurence told you about Malachi... but... well, what is on your mind?"

"We need to try to find a Priest or a Monk quickly."

Dante: "I see, so we need to exorcise his spirit. Hm, finding a Priest would be the easiest solution seen as Monks are vagabonds while Priests are stable."

"So the Monks travel a lot?"

Dante: "Yes, Monks our self taught wanderers of the land. While Priests usually stay in a Church. There are many different beliefs Priests can come from, for example the Faith of Lady Irene - however both Monks and Priests are trained in the same kind of exorcism so it doesn't matter which one you go with. It's just... How are we going to find one in such a short period of time...?"

"When you escaped with Donna did you see any Churches?"

Dante: "No, but... I mean the only solution we could try to take for the time being as wander the fields, and see if we can find someone. I'll go with whatever you decide. Just... make that choice soon."
