- I love the wretched!
This extremely strange, but now well-known motto of the Knight of Spiritual Wealth was first mentioned by him on that distant day in a conversation with his closest friend.
- You are insane, like all adherents of your belief. Not surprising, though — a normal person wouldn't become a wizard; the Sithian nature is proof of that.
- You don't understand, Dominic! A man is not grass or an ant; he doesn't know his purpose, makes mistakes, feels lost in this boundless world where everything is ambiguous and seems frightening, incomprehensible, and threatening. Moral shortcomings are not a vice, but little accidents that make people human.
- That doesn't mean you need to extend a helping hand to every lazy bastard. All they need to stop being melancholic outcasts of society is a bit of hard work.
- It's easy to talk about this from the height of someone who has always been strong in spirit and comes from a prosperous family, my friend, but not everyone has been so blessed. The wounds inflicted by life can, like a bone in the throat, hinder even a simple glance forward.
- What nonsense did you just utter?.. Never mind, the useless must either find the strength to change or they should crawl into some deep pit and never show themselves in the light of society again. I'm sick to death of these whining nobodies who complain about everything. A parasite whines about the injustice of wealth distribution, yet can't bring himself to lift his worthless ass, learn something, and finally do something useful in his life. A loner whines about what beasts the opposite sex are, yet can't even brush his teeth and comb his hair when he leaves the house. And so it is with all of them. They whine, whine, whine, but don't want to act. It's precisely from such people that Iphilla only grows fatter.

One day, in an attempt to learn new methods of self-improvement, my lord Skilishue Flavoresens visited Tasanica, but before returning home, he decided to wander the surroundings and eventually stumbled upon a dilapidated-looking house, inside which he found a drunken orgy. One of the participants in this affair had overdone it with alcohol and other entertainments, unexpectedly finding herself at death's door for herself and everyone else present — her "friends" didn't care, but the young knight couldn't stand by. He brought her back to life and temporarily rented a room in a nearby hotel to help her get back on her feet. They spent several weeks there, and on the day when it was time to part, he said:
- Ivonaday, marry me.
Predictably, this phrase first made the girl very surprised and speechless.
- My lord, don't joke like that; I'm stupid and might well believe you're serious right now.
- I am completely serious.
- Oh, come on... I'm... I'm the lowest scum of society. Who am I... And who are you.
- If I cannot lift you from the abyss of despair, how can I hope to elevate all the other inhabitants of my land?
- I could... infect you with something.
- Infect me! Diseases are as much a part of life as everything else — I am not afraid of that.
- You're... out of your mind.
- I'm often told that.
- Well... But... I could disgrace your honor.
- Does it matter what others might say? My honor is my actions, and only how I perceive them myself.
- I had many men before you...
- I don't care.
As you might guess from the character sheet, they eventually did get married, and the knight was unable to completely fix the wretched woman — at times depression would wash over her, and she would commit thoughtless acts. She would drink to unconsciousness, give herself to random acquaintances, harm herself physically, sob and beg for forgiveness, sometimes throw hysterics for no reason, and much, much more, but Skilishue Flavoresens accepted all this as human imperfection and always calmed and forgave his wife.

- What kind of book is that you have?
The knight's question was addressed to a guy smoking a cigarette, clearly from another city.
- You'll never believe it.
- Maybe I will.
- A super cool white dragon was flying in the sky, and this book fell from it. And I just felt those soulmate vibes.
- Sorry, I'm not strong in youth slang.
- Wanna read it?
- Well, let's see. - Taking the book in his hands and flipping through a few pages, he said to the guy. - Come with me.
- What do you mean?
- I think you need meaning, not me. I'll help you find it. There are many high places in Tezoth, but it's still better to seek them for reaching new personal heights, rather than to meet the ground.
