Terra's Story
The young master in training was lost in thought as he zoomed through the cosmos after having just left Radiant Garden. He wanted to continue flying for awhile, and really didn't want to go anywhere in particular. Flying in the corridors he felt free and at peace and he needed to feel that with all that had happened recently. He still couldn't believe what he had done in attacking that man, Braig, and how Master Xehanort had told him to embrace the darkness.
"But Master Eraqus keeps saying I should not use darkness, and I need to get it under control," he thought, "There are still other worlds to explore, I know I should visit them but I can't decide where to go."
Terra looked down at his map and noticed a world that he had not previously noticed before, Dunwyn. He stared at it for a bit more it looked much like some of the other worlds he had been to with a large castle in the middle and surrounded by forest. Terra wondered why he hadn't seemed to notice that world before. Even though he had found Master Xehanort and technically completed his mission he wasn't ready to go home yet. He still had questions about himself and he wanted to know if there was some way to control darkness so he could use it freely without worrying about it consuming him.
"I feel I need to visit this world," thought Terra, "Something tells me I'm needed here and perhaps I'll find answers I'm looking for." With that the young key-blade wielder headed towards the world.
Terra landed just outside a large impressive castle. He was about to remove his armor when he suddenly heard a call for help from within the castle. He ran straight across the drawbridge and into the central square of the castle where he saw a young child being attacked by unversed. The girl couldn't have been more than five or six years old. There was someone else there to, a man in armor trying to fight off the creatures.
"Back you abominations," he screamed in a loud screechy voice, "I won't let you harm the princess."
Terra drew his key-blade and rushed to the man's side, "let me help you out," he said.
The knight was somewhat taken aback by his sudden appearance, "I say you don't look like any knight I've seen before, but I appreciate the help."
[Information: Help the Knight defeat the unversed]
Terra charged straight into the group of unversed and began slashing away. It didn't take long for him to activate his critical form whereupon he was granted increased strength. Now he moved faster and attacked the unversed with more power and precision dealing damage and destroying them. He also noticed a new unversed that he hadn't seen before, it was a large creature that looked like a knight on horseback, before he knew it the creature was charging straight at Terra. He didn't notice it in time and was knocked back by the force of the impact. But the other man came to Terra's aid and slew the unversed before it could charge again. Terra quickly got up and back into the fray and before long he and the knight had managed to defeat all the unversed.
"Calla, oh Calla are you alright," called a man running towards them. Terra looked at the man and the first thing he noticed was the crown on his head and purple robe on his body. This man was obviously a king! He had a great beard and mustache as well as a full head of hair; although the hair was brown in color Terra noticed quite a few wisps of gray and white taking over. He looked like a powerful man who may have a one point been a strong knight himself, and something told Terra this man could still fight if he had to.
"I'm fine father," said the girl rushing to embrace him, "this man helped me."
"I see," said the king finally taking notice of Terra and the armor he still wore. "My word what strange attire you are dressed in and yet it feels somewhat familiar, tell me good sire are you a knight?"
Terra wasn't quite sure what to say as he knew he wasn't supposed to reveal the existence of other worlds, but he also was kind of in a jam. He decided he would lie a little, but only so he didn't have to say the whole truth.
"Yes your majesty I am a knight," responded Terra, "but my kingdom is far away, I was journeying through this place and by chance heard the girl's call for help. My armor is somewhat special too," he continued, and with a flash of light he made the armor disappear and returned to his normal clothes.
"What amazing magic," said the king, "I would love to hear more about this if-
"Ahem," grunted the other knight, "Yes everyone fawn over the new guy it's not like I was fighting those monsters to you know. Why does it always seem as though I'm unappreciated around here?" The knight seemed genuinely bothered by what was going on and stood still with his arms folded across his chest. Terra finally got a good look at him now. The knight was about the same height as Terra and was also of similar build. He had a long face that was currently composed in a scowl, he also had a bushy moustache and goatee as well as large bushy eyebrows.
"Some new guy shows up with fancy armor and now it's like I don't exist," he fumed.
"Please it's not like that at all," said the king coming to the knight's side, "I couldn't run this kingdom without your help Sir Igthorn."
"Igthorn helped save me too daddy," said the girl as if she had forgot.
"That's right I helped," exclaimed Sir Igthorn, "I am the greatest knight in the land," striking a triumphant pose.
"But the other guy helped more," said the girl innocently. Igthorn seemed to fall sheepishly from his pose.
"I didn't mean to intrude," said Terra, "it's just I have experience fighting these things and I thought I could help."
"Well you've helped enough," interrupted Igthorn, "I'm the knight in charge around here so go back to your kingdom and let me take care of things here."
The king raised his hand to stop Terra from leaving, "Hold a moment there, now Igthorn if this fellow knows about those monsters shouldn't we at least ask him about them before he heads away."
Igthorn looked angered at the thought of even considering this, "Your majesty I am more than capable of handling these things and besides we already got rid of them. There won't be any more."
"These creatures are still new and relatively unknown, they may come back," advised Terra. He thought some more about what he said and decided to add, "In my kingdom I have been tasked with riding the world of these creatures I would be willing to help you in any way I can."
"Pardon Sir but we haven't been formally introduced. Tell me Sir Knight, what is your name?" asked the king.
"My name is Terra," he answered.
"Sir Terra welcome to my kingdom of Dunwyn, I am King Gregor, and this is one of my most loyal knights Sir Sigmund Igthorn." He indicated the knight. "And this young girl is my daughter princess Calla." He pointed to the small child.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all," said Terra sincerely as he bowed before the king.
"Sir Igthorn," said Gregor, "I want you to escort Sir Terra through the castle on a patrol. I want you to keep an eye out for anymore of these creatures and leave no hall empty. But first find a guest room for our friend so he may rest while he's here."
Igthorn groaned to himself as he answered, "yes Sire." Then he motioned to Terra, "follow me."
Igthorn lead Terra into a deep part of the castle and to an unused guest room. On the way they managed to have a meaningful conversation.
"So Sir Terra, what is your kingdom like?" asked Igthorn.
Terra thought a bit before answering and decided he would mostly tell the truth. Igthorn didn't need to know everything. "My kingdom is a beautiful place. There is a huge palace on a mountain that affords a fantastic view. At night time the stars are visible for miles and the air fills your lungs with energy."
"And what about your king what is he like?"
Terra laughed to himself as he pictured what Eraqus might look like as a king. "My king is a wise, kind, and compassionate individual. He has been like a father to me since I became a knight." He smiled to himself as he thought of Master Eraqus.
"Indeed," said Igthorn snidely, "you said he was wise. Do you feel he always makes the right decisions?"
Terra stopped smiling as he thought about the question a bit more. He wanted to say yes but knew he couldn't, and yet he didn't want to admit any misgivings he had about Eraqus so instead he answered. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh it's just I've been worried about King Gregor," said Igthorn, "ever since his wife died I don't think his majesty has been the same. As his loyal knight I'm concerned as to whether he's still fit to rule or not. For instance why he thought I needed your help is beyond me."
"I'm not trying to be better than you," countered Terra, "I just want to help you."
"Well it's just that you came in and took all the glory fighting those creatures off like you did. Sometimes I feel I do so much for King Gregor and he doesn't even notice. Do you ever feel that way with your king Terra?" asked Igthorn.
Terra paused for a moment as he considered this question and decided to actually answer honestly, "Yeah sometimes I do, I feel like all my life I've tried so hard to impress my king but he just doesn't trust me."
"Oh I know how you feel," said Igthorn, "You feel that you were destined for something greater, but certain people are holding you back."
Terra stopped to consider this for a moment, was Eraqus holding him back? Was his refusal to make him a master because he was he wasn't thinking clearly? "But this is a second chance , isn't the whole reason I'm doing this so that when I return Master Eraqus will make me a master?" As he thought some more he realized that Eraqus was giving him the chance to prove himself and in effect make his own destiny.
"Maybe sometimes you have to take what you want, show people that you're better than they think," said Terra.
"Take what you want" replied Igthorn somewhat slyly, "Yes I rather like the sound of that."
It wasn't long before the two arrived at a guest room for Terra. The room was nice enough with a bed and table. The window in the room looked out into the courtyard.
"Take some time to rest if you wish, Sir Terra, and come to me when you are ready to search the grounds for those creatures," said Igthorn.
[Formed a D-Link with Sir Igthorn]
Terra didn't rest long he was eager to help defend this place from the unversed. The two of them roamed throughout the castle. They found a group of the creatures hiding out in the armory. Terra and Igthorn went to work fighting them and in no time at all had defeated them.
The next place they searched was the battlements. Quite a few flying unversed had made their way up to the top and were proving quite difficult to attack.
"Time for some target practice," said Igthorn pulling out his bow. He aimed carefully towards the sky at the flying unversed and let loose a few arrows. His shots hit the mark as the unversed exploded disappearing in a puff of smoke. Terra helped out by summoning thunder to strike the unversed out of the sky, and soon they had cleared the unversed from the battlements.
"Oh you can perform magic to can you," noticed Igthorn in amazement.
"Yes, although to be honest I'm not so good at it, I have a friend named Aqua who is much better at magic than I am," responded Terra.
"Tell me Sir Terra have you ever heard of the Gummi Bears?" asked Igthorn.
"No I haven't," he replied.
"Ah I used to have an old book about their stories and adventures," said Igthorn with a sense of childlike wonder. "Most people don't believe in them you know, most people think they're just myths or legends."
"So what are Gummi Bears?" queried Terra
"Many years ago they say that there was a group of bears who had grown far superior to humans. In fact this race of bears had magic, weapons, and technology much better than anything we had. It's unknown how they developed these amazing marvels, but for a long time they lived in great cities in relative peace with humans," began Igthorn. "But then the humans found out about a plot by the bears to overthrow and conquer humanity. Well of course we wouldn't stand for that so we drove the bears from their great cities and across the ocean. The bears abandoned their cities and destroyed most of their technology so we couldn't use it. That was I think 500 years or so ago. Since then there have been some unconfirmed sightings of Gummis Bears, but nothing that's been substantiated. Nowadays most people just think that they are legends and didn't really exist. I thought about them recently when I saw your armor and again just now when you used magic."
"So do you think they are real?" asked Terra.
"I'd like to think so," said Igthorn, "They say that some of their old great cities were in this very kingdom. If the cities are abandoned I'd love a chance to go exploring there who knows what you could find. Why there must be some relics of their magic or weapons left over or other great treasures.
"Well good luck, I hope you find what you are looking for," advised Terra.
"Oh I'm not interested in just those old legends," said Igthorn, "I've been interested in something else for awhile now, but only recently have I begun to take a more proactive approach to getting it."
"Oh what would that be?" asked Terra.
"Oh not now I'm afraid, you see it's a secret," said Igthorn, "anyway come now Sir Terra we still have one more place to inspect for these things."
Igthorn and Terra moved into the castle basement where they found another infestation of unversed. Terra charged into battle raising his key-blade as he slashed away at the monsters. There were more of the mounted knight unversed, they stabbed straight with their long lances and tried to catch Terra and Igthorn off guard. There were others that held axes and swords as they tried to attack the heroes.
"Igthorn I'll distract it," called Terra, "go around on the other side and attack it."
"I understand," said Igthorn.
Terra exchanged blows with the unversed trying to keep it distracted while Igthorn went around to the side, his sword found his mark as it pierced the unversed and it vanished in a puff of smoke. Terra raised his blade as one of the mounted unversed stuck at him with a sword. He continued to parry the blows as the unversed got more aggressive, Igthorn once again saved him as he was able to catch the unversed unawares and it to disappeared. He wasn't looking though as another unversed charged straight at him and struck him with an axe, Igthorn went flying backwards and was knocked against a wall. Terra looked and saw that several more unversed were closing in on a prone Igthorn. Thinking quickly he activated a Magnet spell to pull the unversed away from him trapping them inside a swirling vortex in the air. With the monsters now grouped together Terra leap into the air and began laying into them with aerial attacks until finally he unleashed his Explosion finishing move and scattered them out. He wasted no time in rushing forwards at the confused enemies and began attacking again, it wasn't long before he had finished taking care of them and turned to help Igthorn.
"My that was some show Sir Terra," said Igthorn, "Such raw power, you must be the strongest knight in your realm."
"I don't know about the strongest, but I am certainly more powerful than most," replied Terra.
"Terra," began Igthorn, "You told me earlier that you were trying to impress your king, but didn't feel that he appreciated your service. Tell me what is it he's denying you?"
Terra thought for a bit before responding, "It's complicated, in my kingdom knights are distinguished by a certain rank. I took a test to obtain that rank and my king denied it to me, that is why I'm traveling, to try and prove myself worthy of that rank."
Igthorn listened to what Terra said and then said, "Terra you want to know what I want? I want to be king!"
"You want to be king?!" exclaimed Terra in surprise, "Who doesn't want to be king? I don't think it's likely to happen any time soon though. Besides what's wrong with your current king, Gregor?"
"Gregor is old and a fool! He's too stuck in old ways and can't rule the country properly. I on the other hand will lead Dunwyn into a new age of glory, "shouted Igthorn, "I've been thinking of this for awhile, but it took your arrival for me to finally decide what to do. That's why I'm telling you this. You have the strength of ten men, you like me have been denied something that you clearly deserve. I bet that if you and I combined our strength we could easily overthrow Gregor. Hypothetically let's say I really wanted to overthrow Gregor, if you were to help me I would see that you were made captain of my knights and given the respect and honor you deserve."
Terra was stunned what he was hearing. Was he really only speaking hypothetically? Yet some of what he was saying made sense. How long had he wanted to be a master? Eraquas had not given him the title because of the darkness inside him, but Master Xehonart said that darkness was not something to be feared. Should he help this man in his quest to become king? Even if what he promised was true it wouldn't be the same thing as being named a master, furthermore he couldn't stay here in this world. Finally he reminded himself the whole reason he was on this quest. Eraquas had told him that this journey was second chance to change his mind. As long as there was still a chance that he could be key-blade master he didn't want to give it up for anything else.
"No," said Terra softly, "I don't want to help you with this. I still have a duty to perform. You should think more about what it means to be a knight, I think maybe you're just impatient and impulsive perhaps you should give this more thought."
"Well like I said," explained Igthorn, "It's all hypothetical, I'm sure that someday Gregor will give me my own fiefdom, and I'll rule it the way I see fit. And I'm sure your king will eventually give you what you seek as well."
"Yeah, I suppose so," said Terra.
"It looks as though we've finished clearing out the creatures from the castle, we should check outside just in case there are more," suggested Igthorn.
Igthorn and Terra had returned to the main square inside the castle where they found king Gregor, he looked as though he had been injured.
"My king, what happened?" asked Igthorn as he approached Gregor to help him up.
"It was another one of those creatures, only it was bigger and tougher than the rest, it came in an instant and took Princess Calla away," replied the king weakly.
"Which way did it go?" asked Terra.
"That way," said Gregor pointing towards the drawbridge.
Terra and Igthorn headed for the draw-bridge, soon they had crossed it and were outside the castle in a small clearing in the forest. From here Terra noticed two different paths that lead to different areas of the very large forest that was just outside the castle.
"How big is this forest?" asked Terra.
"Pretty big," said Igthorn, "The forest covers a large area of Dunwyn, most of the citizens either live in the castle or in small villages scattered throughout this forest. Remember that story I told you about the Gummi Bears? It's rumored that one their old ancient cities lies abandoned somewhere in this forest. Of course the bears were great at hiding their cities so one hasn't been found."
"You really seem interested in these bears," said Terra.
"Well like I said, they're just legends, but I grew up listening to them. No other knights seem to realize the possibility if these cities were real and are now abandoned they probably contain a whole treasure trove of weapons, technology, and magic that we could use for ourselves. Those selfish bears refused to share their technology with us, now that they're gone I say it's ours for the taking.
"What would you do with these things?" asked Terra
Before Igthorn could answer, there was a loud roar. The two knights turned around and saw a large unversed standing up in front of them. It was similar to the unversed knights the two had fought earlier. It was much larger than the regular ones and was clad entirely in black armor with a flowing red cape behind. He was twirling a long and intimidating lance in one of his hands. The unversed rode atop a large black horse that had a long horn protruding from its head; the horse neighed fiercely and fire flew from its mouth. A few feet away was princess Calla lying unconscious on the ground.
"We have to save the princess," yelled Terra.
"Well then let's team up and take care of it," Igthorn paused a moment before adding, "Sir Terra."
[Information: Team up with Igthorn and defeat the unversed]
Without warning the large unversed charged straight towards the duo, the knight tipped his lance forward in the direction of the charge. Igthorn rolled out of the way but Terra stood his ground and tried to attack as he got closer. His attack was ineffective and he was simply launched back from the impact. The knight continued to charge around the area, Terra recovered from his attack, and tried to fight the unversed again but couldn't seem to damage it. The unversed stopped charging and his spear began glowing, suddenly it launched a stream of lightning at Terra, he surely would have been hit but at the last second Igthorn pushed him out of the way.
"This thing really is tough," noted Igthorn, "I don't think we can damage it."
"That horse he's on is giving him extra power, we need to get him off the horse, let me try something," suggested Terra.
The unversed began charging again and it headed straight for Terra, this time however Terra didn't try attacking. Instead he raised his key-blade in defense and the unversed attack stopped, his horse was unsteady and reared up on its hind legs. Igthorn saw this and quickly began attacking the unversed until he finally managed to knock the knight off the horse. The knight retreated inside its armor and hid, the horse however continued to run about, it began stabbing with its horn and breathing fire at Igthorn.
"It's vulnerable now Terra," exclaimed Igthorn, "help me attack the horse."
Terra launched himself at the horse and attacked with a vengeance. In no time at all he transformed into his critical mode and gained more power. Next he started casting blizzard spells in hopes of gaining more power, and sure enough he transformed into diamond dust mode. He landed a few more hits on the horse but then it ran to where the knight was. The knight remounted his horse and began charging again, but now that Terra knew how to defeat it, it didn't take long for him to dismount the knight again. Igthorn came to his aid and with a few more strokes the two managed to defeat the horse and it disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Now only the knight remained.
The knight threw aside its lance and drew out his sword. From here on in the battle was mostly one of swords. Igthorn charged straight at the knight but was caught off guard as the knight raised his shield. Using his shield as a weapon he bashed forward into Igthorn, sending him flying back and against a tree. Igthorn slumped over unconscious leaving only Terra to fight.
"Let's finish this," said Terra.
Terra swung his key-blade and steel clashed in the air. The knight managed to block Terra's blows both with his sword and his shield, leaving little room for Terra to attack. Terra pressed onward and struggled to overcome his opponent. Finally he activated his "Brutal Blast" attack jumping into the air and then slamming down into the knight, now he was inflicting damage. Next he unleashed a "Sonic Blade" attack and charged straight through the knight multiple times before inflicting one final blow. The unversed fell down and after a few seconds it disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
"What a splendid show Terra," said Gregor suddenly appearing on the scene, "you did well to defeat that monster and save my daughter."
Terra went over to check on the young child and leaned over her. She groaned for a few moments before opening her eyes and waking up.
"Thank you for saving me Sir Terra," said the girl, "you were magnificent."
"Hey what about me?" said a groggy Igthorn slowly getting up from where he fell. He stood up for a moment before falling down again.
"Sir Terra," said Gregor turning to him, "I am thankful for your assistance even though your kingdom is far from here. Also I want to present you with this medal for bravery." With that Gregor pinned a medal in the shape of an ornate "D" on Terra.
"May this medal be a reminder of the brave deeds you have performed today and protect you as you have protected Dunwyn," continued Gregor. "You will be welcomed in Dunwyn anytime,"
"I appreciate the offer your majesty," answered Terra, "I was happy to help, but now I must be going, I think my kingdom is still in need of my services. Also I hope that someday I may earn my own kings favor as I have earned yours."
"If you have the dedication that I have seen, that day will not be far off," said Gregor.
"Hey what about me?" moaned Igthorn, he was sitting down covered in a mess of bandages. Igthorn tried to stand but immediately hurt himself and sat back down.
"Well you certainly fought valiantly, but in this case I believe Sir Terra was the hero, seeing as you were injured during the fight," said Gregor.
"But I'm the greatest knight in all of Dunywn," protested Igthorn, "I should share in some of the glory."
"Tell you what Igthorn," said Gregor, "after you've rested and healed up a bit you can try again to claim some glory, I'm sure we'll still have need of you then."
Igthorn stood up in a huff, he stood up so fast though that he forgot he was injured and immediately hurt himself again.
"Ouch! Ow! Oh!," he groaned, "Hmph! If anyone needs me I'll be in my room recovering. Oh and Terra the sooner you leave the better, I certainly won't be sorry to see you gone." Igthorn stood up, slowly this time, and limped off to his room. King Gregor and Princess Calla couldn't help but snicker and laugh as he hobbled away. Even Terra smiled a little as he looked at Igthorn.
"Don't worry about him, he'll be alright," consoled Gregor, "a bit of rest and he'll be good as new."
"Your majesty maybe you should keep an eye on Igthorn," suggested Terra.
"What do you mean?" asked the king
Terra was about to speak, but then hesitated. Should he tell Gregor what he heard Igthorn say earlier? Should he cast suspicion on this knight? Was Igthorn really only speaking hypothetically? Terra thought about it for a few moments. "I shouldn't say anything," he decided, "I have no proof and I'd be accusing a knight with only my word, plus Igthorn's just had a hard day."
"It's nothing," said Terra, "forget I even brought it up. Now I really must be going your majesty,"
With that Terra activated his armor and raised his keyblade in a salute to Gregor and Calla, with that he turned and left. Terra crossed the drawbridge that lead out of the castle. It was at that moment when he noticed a stranger walking towards him apparently on his way to the castle. The stranger was clad in weird attire dressed in a bright green colored doublet and sky blue hose. He had a red hat with a silver feather in it and was carrying a large lute on his back. His face looked handsome and young with emerald green eyes. His hair was dirty blonde with one strand hanging off in front of his face.
"Ah greeting fair sir," said the stranger, "would this by chance be castle Dunwyn?"
"Yes it is," said Terra, "I'm afraid I'm just leaving."
The stranger looked sad, "Oh how disheartening! Here I have just arrived and you are taking your leave. Why you won't get a chance to hear my wondrous melodies!"
"Oh well I'm not really into music much, no offense but I don't think you can play the kind of music I like," said Terra.
"Eh you're probably right," he replied, "I certainly do enjoy singing a ballad, but truthfully I am much fonder of women who give me their attentions. Oh I will sing songs in praise of strong fellows like you, but whatever reward you may shower on me for composing an epic aria in your name simply cannot compare with the reward of a beautiful maidens kiss. I tell you women will simply swoon in your arms if you can use the right words to express and describe their fair features to them in poem or song."
Terra was starting to get annoyed by this guy and tried his best to ignore him and simply leave, but the stranger stepped in front of him blocking his way.
"Forgive me sir knight but I have not had the pleasure of your name," he said.
"Terra," replied Terra curtly.
"And I am the famed traveling minstrel known as Medy," said the stranger identifying himself. "I travel far and wide throughout the lands. I play for princes and paupers alike all come to hear my songs. They say that there is no one as melodious as Medy. Do you see the humor in that good sir?"
"Yes I do, now if you'll excuse me—" Terra began before getting cut off.
"Won't you stay and listen to one of my songs? I've only just arrived and it would be good fortune for you to start whatever quest you are going on in song. Or perhaps you have done some great deeds that you would like me to put in song so that you will be remembered throughout the ages? Or maybe—"
This time Terra managed to cut him off, "I'm sorry I simply don't have the time." He began to quicken his pace putting distance between himself and Medy, though he glanced back one more time and thought to himself, What a spoony bard!
He continued walking until he was out of sight before activating his glider. He boarded it and shot out into the sky, it wasn't long before he was back in the corridors of darkness searching for his next destination.
"The struggle with darkness has been one of the hardest battles I've ever had to endure. Am I jealous of Aqua? Am I like Igthorn who seems like a good person, but is simply jealous of not being in the spotlight? If that's the case then maybe that's what I have to come to terms with in order to defeat the darkness. I will make you proud of me, Master Eraquas, someday you'll see," he thought to himself, "I'll prove I'm a worthy to be a keyblade master."
The battle was long over, even though Terra had managed to defeat Xehonart he still lost as his body was now consumed. Only his armor lay in a crumpled heap still clutching the key-blade as Xehonart arose to admire the new youthful body he had acquired. He hadn't noticed that the pile of armor had risen up behind him to assume a battle ready stance, it seemed Terra's spirit was not fully defeated.
"Your body submits, your heart succumbs, so why does your mind resist?!" exclaimed Xehonart.
As Terra's armor stood up he noticed something pinned to the chest. It was a medal of some kind, he had not noticed it before and saw that the medal was glowing.
"What is that medal?! Where did you get it from?!" demanded Xehonart.
The armor remained silent as it could not speak, but the medal continued to glow as if in response.
"You think one good deed can overcome the darkness," laughed Xehonart, "you are a fool!"
Terra's armor stood in a battle ready position and waited for Xehonart to make the first move. The medal continued to glow and provided a bastion of will to Terra's mind.
