Saul sighed slightly. "Well, all I did was find some work in Forsythe. That's what started it off. See, way back when, I was an apprentice of a man known only as Smith, who apparently was one of the best blacksmiths in town. Once there was this local hero that drove off a bunch of bandits, and he demanded services for free. Smith had heard, however, that all the guy'd done was pay them off, and sent them to go ransack other towns, which he didn't like, so he said no, the guy'd have to pay for it. This guy went berserk and killed my master, and told the guards Smith'd tried to kill him for no good reason; they therefore think anyone affiliated with him is evil. I was just minding my own business earlier yesterday, when the head guard came out and arrested me for having been trained by this guy 10 years ago. The Chosen One of Darkness came out, said his name was Myougami something-or-other, and had them take me to an inn. I awakened around midnight and set the thing on fire, then turned it into a bomb, and strolled out. I met up with this Myougami fella, drove him away by making a bit of light, and walked over here to Tatsu. Got my way past the guard at the front gate without killing him, and then I met up with you." He took a breath. "And you know pretty much everything else, heh."
He felt a weird buzzing in his head for a second, which stopped as suddenly as it started. He glanced at Kyla. "Did... did you feel that?"
