Episode Title:
The Hero's Conditions
Episode Description:
Liese and Theron worry about Kyle’s sudden personality change. Theron’s mother Layla claims Kyle must have met a woman, making Liese jealous. Kyle realises he needs heroic influence if he is going to stop the Great Invasion, for which he will need money and an already influential persons support. As such he plans to travel to the capital with Theron, but chooses to leave Liese behind where she will be safe. Before leaving Kyle spots an elf named Urza, one of his future lovers, but accidentally uses her secret true name Eksess, causing Liese to demand she accompany him after all. Urza is furious since elves’ true names can be used to control them, but Kyle offers to sign a magic contract that forbids him using her name for evil. Urza agrees, but as contracts require a full moon she is forced to join them until the next one. First, Kyle leads them to a labyrinth in the Sungard Mountains, though as he has future knowledge of the place, he is able to dig a tunnel from the outside straight to the treasure room, bypassing the traps and monsters. This solves Kyle’s need for money. He also locates his sentient holy sword, which transforms into a young girl to challenge him.
