"Do not apologise for saving lives, even if it is by forcing yourself to take no action."Vi's voice is as rich as the tide, ringing clear around the lighthouse as he appears, promptly and without fanfare at the window. With his arms held loosely behind his back, he regards Ronin over his shoulder, as if able to see the weight that presses down upon the White Knight like it's something solid and visible.
"Sometimes the most difficult thing to do is nothing at all," he continues, turning slowly to face Ronin and the axe he sets before him at the shrine. "Though I would argue that using your abilities to bestow my gift of life back to those who have lost it before their time is the opposite of doing nothing."
But the man he had named his knight is requesting something that stands apart from the power that shines within him - something old and heavy with memory. "You carry this like guilt," Vi says, nodding to the axe. "Do not wield it in the same way. Learn to use it as a piece of yourself, and it will be as strong as you are."
While they are on the subject, though... "You ought to look within yourself more often, Ronin Taliesin. You may be surprised at what has awoken within you in the time you have been out of the fight."
Ronin has received a quest to upgrade Emmett's Axe! He must:
1. Complete a training thread focusing on the use of the axe.
2. Complete a training thread with someone else in possession of the axe, focusing on avoiding it on the recall.
3. Complete a thread using the axe for a purpose other than harming or cutting.
4. Complete a thread using the axe to assist someone with something.
