Outside the northern corridor of the Circle of Truth, old Enrique stood before the silent statue.
The statue before him was of the first ancestor from Enrique's family to serve the Circle of Truth.
In those early days, when the Circle of Truth was just founded, and every Grassland Elf had just arrived in this land, capable ancestors united their kin, and every blade's edge was aligned against the outside world.
Some raised the banner of justice, achieving apotheosis.
Others shed their blood and faded into the long river of history.
Today, a young scion from the House of Ailish raises the banner of justice. Old Enrique was melancholic, not because his family lacked for candidates, but because every child wanted to enlist under Durin's banner—centuries later, finally, a Grassland Elf kin raised the banner of justice, the romantic Grassland Elves unafraid of hardships, fearing only the helplessness in the face of adversity.
"How long has this land gone without new gods?"
