The Green Knight stifled and fiddled with the sword “all that I can tell you, that he stands before his pantheon of heroes. He now meets with the great man of the past who carried the torch he now carries, I suspect that they are heroes motivated by love and compassion, though that is only speculation on my part.”
Leon stood in a dark room the only light seemed to radiate from robed figures, he looked down feeling unworthy. Something had changed since the last time he stood before these men, he was no longer grey as he was before he now shown as a great beacon of light.
“Lift your head young hero” of voice said “you are now at the precipice of thy current journey, your actions will dictate whether the darkness shall extinguish your light, or your scorching light shall devour the darkness of this place forever.”
“As with the heroes before you we offer you our experience and knowledge.” another said “should you choose to accept it overwhelming numbers alone cannot hinder you.”
“Great heroes” Leon said “ I feel unworthy to hold such great knowledge knowing I have so little to contribute of my own, but I’m not fighting for myself for should I fail it is not only my light that shall be extinguished but that of the one I love. For her sake I shall accept.”

“Then it is yours, now we must hurry they prepare to assail you. Farewell young hero who shall speak again. ” they all said in unison as the light faded.
Leon awoke staring into the eyes of the only reason he still fought, as long as she was with him he would fight on, you would like nothing to touch her. He smiled up at her, reaching out and touching her softly he pulled her into a soft warm kiss. Pulling away he smiled and said “I told you that I’d be right back” and kissed her again.
