Sylvia took in the quiet scenery and admired the stars in the sky for a moment. When Pylia spoke, saying that she knew why Sylvia was here, her attention immediately snapped to look at her in surprise. 

[i]...What?[/i]

Stunned by the first sentence, Sylvia listened to what Pylia had to say. She wasn't so surprised about the fact that an Arisen wasn't someone who slew great beasts, but brought change instead. But what she wasn't ready for was the fact she was here to fight stagnation and corruption. 

Then there was the upside down cross...no, not a cross. A sword...

[i]A silver sword...[/i]

Was that the same sword from Duke Erod's story?

She continued to listen to Pylia, and at the end of it, the mention that she was the chosen one of a Harbinger of Chaos...Sylvia found herself opening her mouth to say something, but end up closing it once more. Her thoughts were in a confused jumble. 

She soon managed to find her words, "...I am confused. And I have more questions," 

She couldn't help but ask the ones that were immediately on her mind, "Why did the Defiance choose me? I mean, I know nothing about...[i]any[/i] of the gods here. Wouldn't he...she...they? Why wouldn't the Defiance choose one of the people who worship...them? And....I can't go home until some huge change takes place? That could take years!"
