CHAPTER XIII

“So, before we find her, I need to know: what exactly happened between you and this paladin friend of yours? Also, what’s her name?” Victor asked as they pushed deeper into what was clearly a wilder part of the Hinter.

“Her name is Delphine. As for what happened, well...for this to make sense, you need to know that Delphine is a follower of Nystalla, the Goddess of True Justice.”

“True Justice? As opposed to False Justice? I haven’t heard of Nystalla.”

“So, you know how there are guards who are just on a power trip and will use any excuse to arrest someone? And there are other guards who are actually good people who are more interested in catching genuinely bad people, and aren’t too fucking stupid to understand the concept of ‘extenuating circumstances’?”

“Yes. I’ve heard it described as ‘the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law’,” Victor replied.

“Yes, exactly. Nystalla is the embodiment of that. She is a Goddess who is interested in punishing actual criminals who commit evil deeds. She requires little from her followers beyond a strict adherence to do the right thing, and, if they are a paladin of her order, to seek and eliminate evil. Delphine...did not have a great childhood. She dedicated herself to Nystalla young.”

“Okay, so, she follows Nystalla intensely,” Victor said.

“Correct. We’ve known each other off and on for five years. I helped her on a number of bigger fights or when she needed someone big and threatening around. People are a lot more willing to listen if you’ve got a dragoness backing you up. Well, last year, she comes to me and asks for help tracking down an old relic of Nystalla. A sword that was blessed by the Goddess Herself. She’d finally found it, but it was in a dangerous place: a temple to Nystalla that had become corrupted. She wanted to recover the relic and purify the temple.”

“With you so far,” Victor said.

“Well, it was going well for a bit. But this was an old temple. We fought our way in, got the relic, and then began the purification process. Only something big and bad was waiting for us, something with a vested interest in the temple staying corrupted. A monster from another realm. It was somehow siphoning power from the corrupted temple back to its realm. I fought it, but it was too powerful. In the end, our battle brought the temple down in its entirety.”

“Oh...man,” he murmured.

“Yeah. Needless to say, she was very angry. In her eyes, I had destroyed an ancient, important temple to her Goddess. Quite the sin. But I got the impression that something else was going on there, although I never found out what. I expected her to be annoyed, perhaps even mad, but she was livid. She flew into a rage like I’ve never seen before. Said she never wanted to see me again. I left,” Nyx explained.

“I’m sorry, Nyx,” he said.

“Why?”

“That had to be painful. She was your friend, and she abandoned you.
