"The beast life force is my first and only gift to those like you. I give you all a chance, yet everyone just throws it away." Mogar showed Lith the images of his fight with the Abomination that had taken over the body of the Dryad back at the academy.

Mogar showed Lith images of how his household and village had thrived with the passing of the years since his arrival.

"I'm no hero. Everything I did, I did it for myself." Lith said.
