Pontiff Nari was in a small fishing village named Moira. She had just flown for miles with two champions on her back, Sam and the young boy named Wojtek. Nari took a long look at Sam then heaved a heavy sigh.
"I wish we would have trained you more," she said in a regretful tone.
Sam gave her an amiable smile. "Your training, as well as my escape from Stalwart, had helped me develop in ways I couldn't have imagined possible," he replied. He got to his knee and bowed to the Pontiff. "It has been an honor, your Excellency."
Pontiff Nari's lips parted into a wary smile. "The honor was mine," she replied in a cordial tone. "Help the young one assimilate his Fragment, will you?" She leaned in and hugged a surprised Sam. "You'll need all the allies you can get in there," she whispered.
She got up and shot Wojtek a worried look. "I'm truly sorry for your king," she said in a sad tone.
Wojtek nodded. "Thank you for bringing me here, and thank you –"
