Out in the rear courtyard, Korius panted as he continued to defend against Loraine's constant barrage. Goddammit. If this keeps up, she's either going to kill me, or I'll be forever lost. Within his mind, he remembered Soria's words that were embedded into him that morning, when he finally broke out of the scripts. He remembered Soria standing there over him in his tattered state. She gave him a nod and tossed a new pile of clothes, identical to his normal attire. "You've mastered a level of your Ki, but the rest will be the hardest. You have yet to finish all your training, but it seems you might have to take a break for now. Your party faces Loraine Ikster, and she is extremely deadly. She was once my sworn sister, and my student. Your friends will require your assistance, and you will require theirs. If you try to force your Ki level any higher than what you've achieved today, your remaining dark Ki will consume you, and you will no longer be able to revert. The less Dark Ki you harness, the more powerful it gets, and you're now at that level that decides the fate of any Ki master. Seek me after you give my old student her peace. I will finish your training then, or give you your peace, should you succumb."
