WDB06b: Passion of the Soul

'When I was 13, the Utini attacked me town.' Marcus reveals the moment that made him who he is — and broke him. Taweia has been preparing him his entire life.

Passion of the Soul. Marcus delivers his most devastating journal — the Lucia revelation, spoken from the transcript: 'When I was 13, the Utini attacked me town. It only lasted a few hours, but it felt like days. Towards the end, me father and brother went out to protect the pigs and asked me to stay and protect me sister Lucia. I was afraid when I thought that me father was about to die. I ran out to help. Turns out he had it well in hand, and I was relieved beyond measure until I heard me sister cry from inside the house.' The aftermath: 'The next year was a hard one for me family. No one spoke of the harpy in the room, but it always filled the silence. The loss of her gentle presence was most felt during dinners.' Mithra's summit journal: 'Day one of Summit in my search for context and history of this land.' Taweia has been preparing Marcus his entire life. Gladius Lux combat erupts. Marcus saves the party — levels to 6.
