"I lost to Locust on Thabolia, and my past deeds caught up with me. When I was trapped in Hell, I suffered for what, to me at least, were eons. I fought a battle that I couldn't win, and the war depended on my victory. I would be successful, but in the end, I lost at the crucial moment. After countless infinities, I was...inspired...to go and escape. First, I climbed up, and that's where Shephard found me. Then I 'realized' that I was going the wrong way. So I went down, down through the circles of Hell. I encountered many friends and foes and made quite a lot of both on that journey. I got to the bottom, an expansive frozen lake, and then thought to stab the ice. I refused, for I could see what was trapped beneath. Instead, I raised up my sword, and was granted the...oh, what would you call it? It has many names, my name for it being the Yodünfire, other names being Serder's Flame, the Odinforce, and other such powers. I don't know why I was given it, or even if I deserved it. But I never doubted who gave it to me, because He is the only one who could have reached that far. I then went up, gathering power and holiness, a renewed man. With my new purpose, I escaped, and woke in the world, yet the Yodünfire remained with me. And so I am here again, more powerful than before, but here only to fight beings of evil incarnate. However, I have received no further signs or instructions as to what I must do now. I was hoping either Icarus or you, would know?"
