Level 40 quote

As a warrior, it is when I am closest to death that I feel most alive. Fate's sense of humor, I suppose. When the evil of the Dark Stone gripped Grado, I lost my honor, everything—I was a hollow shell. Perhaps I should have remained and followed the orders of my emperor. I could have died for Grado and avoided the shame that followed my betrayal. But how can I sit by as the young— Prince Ephraim, Glen, Cormag, Selena, Prince Lyon—risk their lives. I will fight to my last breath for the young warriors marching to war to defend their countries. My final wish is for a new Grado to be founded, and I will bear that weight however I must.
— After reaching level 40 at five-star Rarity.
