Zet thought about her question for a moment. She'd heard his story back with Sydo for the most part, but she did have a point. There was more to his story in that retrospect. She deserved to know. After a minute or so of silence he finally spoke. "Ever since I was young, I was told stories of the knights. How their bravery and strength had saved countless lives, countless time. I strove to be one, despite my clan's past. As I grew up though, it was tough to try and kill the dream. Even after I was nearly killed by the knights, I still wanted to be one of them. I started training at a very young age. It wasn't exactly how normal knights do it, but I thought my unique talents may be able to get me in, even with the Krovi name behind me. On my 18th birthday I tried to join them. Despite testing me and acknowledging my strength, the refused me entry. The told me that scum like my clan would never be accepted. From that point on I thought my dream to be hopeless. However I never stopped training. I trained Ruby, and I trained myself, day in and day out, all for another opportunity. When this war broke out, I thought I'd have another chance. However, I'm not stupid. I knew that they would never accept me this way. That was when I heard the stories of the gem holders."

Zet cracked his back and caught his breath before continuing on. "I realized that you all are supposed to bring an end to this war. Your doing what I strive to do. Save those who cannot save themselves. Not being an army or a anything like that, there was no rules against allowing me to aid you all. So I thought that perhaps I could clear my clan's name by aiding you all. If that was done, maybe I could become a knight, maybe I could make it so my clan no longer has to go through all this torment as I have, and maybe, just maybe I would have a hand in saving people that would have died without me. That's why I am here. Sydo was right, perhaps I am selfish in being here. My intentions are pure though. I want to save people, and help you end this war, even if I have to die doing so. I'm ready for anything." Zet waited a few moments before saying anything else. "Anything else off the top of your head that you wanted to know?"
