Mombaki paused and appeared to actually put some thought into the question before he answered Rutger. Despite that he still had a certain amount of enthusiasm to his reply, it just had much more determination to it than his previous assertion that he would go.

"[i]Have[/i] to go! To be worthy of returning home, I must accomplish great deeds, hunt powerful prey or find priceless treasures. Hunting these 'Dark Wizards' does at least two! If I can't do that, then even if I find home I cannot return! So I will hunt them and make a name for me!"

Mombaki nodded to himself, fully believing that much, at least.
