Balasiel: Take up a sword, my friend. I'll talk to you when you do, and no sooner.
Balasiel: Friend, listen to me. It is not cogs nor levers nor even the mightiest of magicks that protect this kingdom of San d'Oria. No! We Elvaan live by the power of the sword alone. Our blades defend our borders. If you would strengthen your sword arm and learn something of the art, then accept my challenge. What say you? Accept his challenge?
Refuse.
Balasiel: As you wish. Come back when you've grown a spine.≺Prompt≻
