>“Fighting stops? There’s always someone out there that needs their ass kicked. I'll rule like a monarch and fight like a warrior.” You couldn’t imagine a world where you wanted to stop fighting. To you, that was exactly why the Goddess had given you the gifts she had. So that you could spread her word, defend your loved ones, and ensure that the people you were responsible for were safeguarded and prosperous. You intended to succeed at ruling, but that didn't mean you intended to hang up your axe for good.
“Of course it does.” Cuthbert looks at you as though you were mad. “Have we been absent from Fodlan that long? Home may have its issues, but one thing that cannot be denied is that the Archbishop has ensured that we have not had to fight a war in over 25 years. I would hope that you seek to follow her example were you to become king. Fighting may be well and good for you, but that’s only because violence and strife runs in your blood in the form of those Crests. For everyone else, it’s a living nightmare. Don’t go picking fights as a ruler just to satiate your own boredom, Tristain. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself going down in history as a tyrant.”
>“Wouldn’t be the first one you served, would it?”
“At least Edelgard fought for something other than her desires. And in the end, her dream of a world that placed less emphasis on Crests came to fruition. If fighting and testing your abilities is what you truly want out of your life, then the best thing you could do is decline to rule this nation. It’s a large world out there. Perhaps there are more interesting things for you to do than sitting on a dusty foreign throne.”
>“I’ll be sure to take your considerations to heart.” You say, crossing your fingers behind your back.
“Be sure you do.” Cuthbert says, getting up from his log and stretching out his tired limbs. “Don’t stay up late. Alvin says we’ll be in Morfis tomorrow. Best you get some rest. You’ll need it.”

During the next day’s travel, you see it before anyone else does. Riding ahead of the group upon Fionn, you can make out the numerous, impossibly tall spires that lie ahead of you, each one piercing above the clouds. After three months of marching and fighting, you’d finally done it. You’d reached the Sorcerer Capital of Morfis. Your destiny was ahead of you. The beautiful Princess Yulia, a reunion with your cousin, and the greatest battles of your life were all waiting. In excitement, you bring Fionn down to the rest of the group, informing them that you’d finally reached your destination.
