Growth

My only gain was in knowledge of the land: I discovered Grom'gol Base Camp, Stranglethorn Vale, Duskwood, Raven Hill and Raven Hill Cemetery, and learned I could fly from Grom'gol Base Camp.

I grew stronger many times over. Aramis Hammerhand taught me Devotion Aura, Holy Light, Judgement and Blessing of Might, and later Divine Protection, Holy Strike and the Seal of the Crusader. My skill with two-handed maces, with maces, and my defense all improved through the day's fighting.

I grew stronger through the day, and felt it each time. My mace skill and defense rose steadily. Aramis Hammerhand's training gave me Devotion Aura, Holy Light, Judgement and Blessing of Might. Later I learned Divine Protection, Holy Strike and Seal of the Crusader. Pain came with the light, as he had warned.

I felt the strength come in waves. I grew from the first faint weakness of risen flesh to the steadier power of a seasoned fighter, and my skill with the two-handed mace and with my defenses rose steadily.

Aramis Hammerhand trained me, and I learned Devotion Aura, Holy Light, Judgement and Blessing of Might. Later I learned Divine Protection, Holy Strike, Seal of the Crusader and a stronger Holy Light. Pain and the Light came together in my hands, as Aramis promised they would. Working the Light on the wounded Deathguard hurt, but it grew easier.

The Light came back to me in pieces. I raised my weapon skill and my defense through the day's fighting. Aramis taught me Devotion Aura, then Holy Light, Judgement and Blessing of Might. Later I learned Divine Protection, Holy Strike and the Seal of the Crusader. With each step I felt stronger. I grew in strength six times before the hour of Gallows' End, and a seventh time near Garren's Haunt.

Aramis offered me training, a sign that there are skills waiting for me when I choose to take them up.

Outside the chapel, a man named Aramis Hammerhand welcomed me back to the light and asked whether I required training. I have not yet answered him, but I mean to.
