::She grins again::
That's some idealistic talk for a hero. Especially konsidering the situation in this city. But it was beautiful nonetheless.

He smiled at her again.
" Ah the situation here...Is just the same really...One group belittling another...I will just have to work my magic again..."
He laughed.
" Though it will be a lot harder this time I imagine..."

::She grins::
You know, you sound a lot like one of those other heroes I've heard about. I'm sure in your line of work you've run into The Witch's Surrogate a few times. They say that as powerful as she is, she's aktually rather pacifistik. I met her once you know. About six years ago she showed up at the Abbey. But at the time I hadn't the slightest idea who she was.

" The witches surrogate? You mean Iole?"
He blinked as he pondered who Wendy had meant.
" Iole is the one who asked Jas and I to come here and help actually...She is one of my close friends actually..."

Yes that was her name. She told me, but I suppose six years takes it's toll. Well I'm sure she's older by now, but when I saw her last, she was a little slip of a girl. She seemed very... troubled. But I guess that's my mind playing tricks on me.

He quickly thought for a second.
" She had probably been worried about someone that was close to her for awhile..."
He realized that that would have been after Natalia had died, and all the murders here in Lindblum had occurred. She had most likely come to check on Gwen who had probably just lost her memory and assumed the identity of Wendy.

::Kerion hangs up the PHS before dialing another number:: Hopefully Iole picked up that PHS I left. ::Waits as he hears it ring, on her side, the ID said Unknown::

::Elsewhere, Iole feels the PHS vibrate while she's still tending to the wounded. She takes it out and stares at it hesitantly. She finishes her work with the young man in front of her and gets back up::
Excuse me a moment.
::It still takes a few rings, but eventually she works up the nerve to answer it::
Hello?

"I understand I'm the last person you want to see or talk to, but hear me out. The reason I had to go after you is because someone dear to me is being held hostage, my daughter Maria."

::It's quiet on the other end for awhile before she finally replies::
That would have been helpful before you started shooting at me. Is that what you were worried I wouldn't understand? I understand perfectly what it's like to have someone you love in danger. But that gives you no excuse to turn on your friends. Did you ever think of coming to me? I could have helped you. You could have called in a favor from Lillith. Even Jas likes you, and sometimes I get the impression he doesn't really like anyone. I thought you were our friend.

"I'm sorry..." he replied. "But I know it doesn't excuse what I've done. It's just that I don't believe terrorism is an answer to any problem. When terrorism is used, the innocent are the ones that pay the price, not the terrorists and their targets." ::He waits a moment:: "I lost a friend of mine to terrorism, due to the fact he sided WITH them."

We aren't terrorists Kerion. You don't think the fighting bothers me? If I didn't believe in what we're doing here, or if I thought the cost was too heavy, I wouldn't be on this side. You know that. It wasn't my side that was killing civilians in this battle.

"Still... I know the LPA had nothing to do with the bombings, but it still doesn't excuse their killing of hostages. Many of them had families they had to think about before they lost their lives."

What hostages? Where are you hearing this from? I'm in the LPA and I don't know what you're talking about.

::He sighs, trying not to yell at her:: "I'm sure you might of seen what they do to their captives, you must of seen something at the bomb site after you guys demolished that building. I also seen the aftermath at the police station, the bodies that had their throats slitted with no defense wounds. But I'm here right now with Jas and Galeon, and after what I've been through, you'll be glad to know once I rescue Maria, I'll be severing my ties with my employer."

And you expect me to forgive you just like that. And as for your accusations, I saw what happened at the bomb site. You act like I'm not bothered by some of our methods. But these are poor downtrodden people with very limited resources. The Regent had a long time to patch things up with his people, and he took every chance he had to step on them. All they want is their rights. What is it that you wanted out of this fight? I mean before Maria was taken.

"At first, it was only about the money for Maria's future, but it's now about saving her life so she can have a future. But I do have some information that might intrest you. About what's going on behind the scenes that even the Regent doesn't know."

::Again, Iole needs to take pause, remembering her concern that one of the old villains might be behind the Regent::
I'm listening.
