Re: The Trial of the Champion
Lindsay would start to relax herself again as she seemed to misinterpret what the Lich was trying to say. Mostly the shock of it all as no one really ever seemed interested in her as she was growing up in her village. Over the course of what seemed to be only a few weeks in her time, Lindsay went from an aspiring knight in training to warrior of destiny. Not being one to think inward about herself only, Lindsay never really even considered that someone would simply want to live a normal life by her side.
The Lich seemed to be the person that she figured him to be from their initial interaction with each other. Why else would the Lich go through the trouble of helping the person that had just defeated one of his vassals? Millia and Alera would certainly be able to find their own way once Lindsay had finished what she felt to be her goal of defeating the persons ultimately responsible for destroying her whole village. Lindsay felt this tournament needed to be done, and she could not be wavered from this decision. If for no other reason than to prove to herself that she can do it, Lindsay needed to come to terms with her ability as a fighter and there was no better way to do it than in a controlled environment of a tournament. The prize of the Lich's phylactery was an added bonus to it all were she to be able to win the tournament as a whole.
As the Lich continued, he would offer a few alternatives toward a match that could feature the group of girls in an exhibition match of some manner. Thinking a little about it, as much as the Lich would seem interested in putting Lindsay into a dream state, Lindsay was not as receptive to the idea initially. As Lindsay wanted to prove herself to herself, she also wanted to see how Alera and Millia would handle themselves in the heat of battle. This was not something that could be done with illusions. Lindsay did not want to be outright dismissive of the concept, so much as wanting to explain the reasoning behind her own point of view. All in all, the idea was not a bad one though. Lindsay could be put into a sleeplike state by the Lich after a battle in the arena and she could continue to fight albeit in an illusionary world while her body recovered in the physical world.
There was alot to be done still. Alera seemed to be stirring about now as well. With Alera waking up from her nap, the private time that the Lich and Lindsay had between themselves was starting to draw to a close. Not having heard anything from Millia either through the rune, it might be that she had already finished with the armorer at this point and was headed back toward their location. Still fearing for how Millia might react to seeing the one responsible for tearing her body and spirit apart from each other, Lindsay would be on guard to diffuse any possible situation that could arise. The last thing Lindsay wanted to do was ruin a relationship that she had formed between herself and Millia.
