He dreamed of shouldering his responsibilities, performing the ritual dance gracefully, and sealing the Ambrosial Arbor.
He dreamed of stepping into a battlefield where sharp blades and arrows fell like rain, and meted out punishment from the sky.
He dreamed of being chained between jade pillars, pierced by long nails, sealed in darkness.

"Whomst defends the world's justice? Whomst sees through the deceit of vice and indulgence? Whomst will wipe out these evildoers? Whomst will protect the light of ten thousand homes?"
