I never swore anything to anyone, but my friend, Rhajul, he made a pact with that demon. Made a deal he just betrayed. I, well, he said you saved my life, said you healed me. I owe you. But, while I was out cold when you did it, I see the results of what you did to them. You hold all the power here, that much is clear. I know you probably need time, and take all you need, but I have to ask what happens next? What are you going to do about them, about me?" He asked.
