Alister smiled slightly as he asked, "I'm surprised you know, tell me how did you find out about that?"

"I was certain it was a personal thought."

Terra smiled, "It was, but the connection between us communicated how your felt, the desire to not restrain yourself, each of us felt it that night."

"So since your already made a promise to yourself... Wouldn't it be best to keep it?"

"An overlord's words are worth their weight in gold no?"

"So let them know of your might, let any who dare stand before you either fall behind or fall before your power."

Alister took in her words, letting them sink in. He knew she was right; hiding his strength wouldn't protect him from future struggles.

It might even make things harder, as people underestimated his capabilities or questioned his resolve. Standing tall was his path forward, no matter the obstacles.
