We should not have come to this...difficult decision, Daeva. But I see no other way out.

Even though he wasn't a Daeva, Isson was a natural leader among the people of the village. People looked up to him, and I...I loved him.

When the big dry threatened our little brook--our only supply of drinking water--he suggested that we dig a well.

Player: "What happened?"

Isson and some villagers dug a well, but found no water. When they dug deeper, the walls collapsed, and the villagers were buried alive.

Isson blamed himself, and begged for forgiveness, but the survivors attacked Isson and injured him badly. I coaxed them into letting me lock him in a warehouse. It was for his protection! But Isson felt that I'd betrayed him--and our love.

He broke out of the warehouse and disappeared into the desert. I thought he was lost forever.

Player: "What a terrible tragedy!"

Many years have passed and most have forgotten Isson. But he has not forgotten us. He's returned, and now he's a Lepharist boss.

Isson has occupied the Mystic Spring of Agairon, keeping us from its healing waters. Then he poisoned the brook and people fell ill.... I'm afraid of what revenge he will wreak upon us--or me--next.

He'll not listen to me, who betrayed his love. Daeva Player, will you save us? Will you kill Isson before he commits another crime?

Player: Accept.

Please end Isson's cycle of revenge. I can see no other way to save the village and protect the people.

The Lepharist Revolutionaries are camping near the Agairon Mystic Spring. Isson will be with them. He is the Scout Leader and always has his men with him, so it won't be easy to get to him. Be careful.


Player: "I will end his reign of terror."

I can't stop thinking about Isson. How did things go so wrong? Why did the villagers blame him for the tragedy? How could he have held a grudge for so long?

Isson.... What happened?

Player: "Isson is no longer a threat."

My heart aches, even though I know it was the right thing to do.

If I had not been a priest perhaps I could have fled the village with him. Perhaps we...ah, such regrets will get me nowhere. Was this sacrifice necessary? All this death, this senseless, wasteful death.
