| 9.34 | —Collos, Strongest of Pomle. Stitch-man. Level 59 [Strongest of the Martial Age]. |
| 9.35 O | Diary of the First Strongest, Collos. |
| 9.35 O | “The First Strongest of Pomle. Salii has questions for you, Xil. And anyone else who remembers him well. Salthorn?” |
| 9.35 O | “Sounds right. It used to be different. Collos would visualize ‘our place’, to learn where to fight. To have enough space to train. First it was there. When he found Pomle, he said it wasn’t valuable.” |
| 9.35 O | “Of course they do. They’re Pomle’s warriors. Exactly as Collos knew them. I am probably there—far lower leveled. And so would Orjin.” |
| 9.35 O | “I am the Strongest of Pomle. I would have been fifteen if Collos’ memory of me was accurate. A [Soundstep Martial Artist]. I might have used a spear.” |
| 9.35 O | “Hah! So your garden can pull out at least some of my potential. But Collos wrote he tired of it? It makes sense. He was beyond anyone else in Pomle.” |
| 9.35 O | “I was there when we first fought and won our independence. When Pomle fought—many died—but we were the highest-level then. We waned when we achieved victory. Collos waned without a foe. Pomle was never this one place. It was an idea. Where we go, Pomle endures. I am going to make war on Nerrhavia’s Fallen and surpass the First Strongest. Come with me. Water, bedding, all of it—lies ahead.” |
| 9.35 O | “Yes. Just like Collos.” |
| 9.35 O | “You mean—ten levels higher than Collos. The Strongest may have bested him once—but Torreb outlived him.” |
| 9.35 O | Collos had searched all his life for it at the end. He had stopped at Level 59. At the very least, perhaps— |
| 9.37 HO | “Collos gave me this one. Before he died, when Pomle revolted, he defeated me, Torreb the Undefeated. My name, you see, only came when I was older. I outlived him, but he bested me with his hands. You want a warrior at Level 5 to best someone barehanded who holds a weapon. That is impossible, I think. But I tell you that your hands will threaten even the Deaths of Rhir in time.” |
| 9.37 HO | “A Gnoll gave me that when I fought in Izril. It hurts sometimes, and I think—Berr is raging. I have fought so many legends. He gave me that when I killed his Chieftain. Another legend. Now dead. The ones that survive are not the ones who are most famous. Collos defeated me—but I outlived him. Which is greater?” |
| 9.37 HO | “Do you know why I sit with this here? Do you know why, Strongest? Not just for you. I earned my name Torreb the Undefeated after I passed Level 60. Collos was dead—then I named myself that, and I never lost again. I swore I would make the name Torreb echo in Chandrar. It is why I was glad…that the King of Destruction waited so long to come back.” |
| 9.37 HO | “A great loss. A change in your body. Realizing what your martial art is. But you will change, Strongest. The Skills will shape your entire being. Vandum—has taken Collos’s mantle. His body will break magic—but that journal you found. Let me see it again.” |
| 9.37 HO | “He was Level 59. Before me. You see? I was Level 58…when he beat me, the last defeat I ever took. But I found my way forwards. Collos was stuck. He could not understand where to continue. So he never levelled. When I reached Level 60, my entire world shifted. I stood upon the body of a Jaw of Zeikhal and screamed that I would die if I was ever defeated again. I vowed it upon my life—and so I am terrified and was granted the power to change. How will you change, Strongest?” |
| 9.37 HO | “That’s why I like you, Strongest. You and Collos both never cared for that…what is a [Martial Artist]?” |
| 9.37 HO | “The greatest [Martial Artist], Torreb…is not one such as you. We have made a mistake. I have. I am not searching for a person. I am searching for a path. It is not I who am flawed; my martial art has no purpose other than strength. If we follow it, I, Vandum, we will all stop where you are. I must find what Collos was missing. I see it now.” |
| 9.37 HO | Besides…he thought it would be worth staying for one more reason. He had seen more than one legend of Chandrar. Orjin had lived in Pomle all his life. He had seen new stars like Nsiia, knew some like Xil, and now Vandum, and Salthorn by name. He had known Collos. |
| 9.55 (Pt. 1) | “You are the one who asked about the previous Strongest’s garden, aren’t you? Salii mentioned it. May I ask what you saw in his garden? Collos. What did he make of it?” |
| 9.55 (Pt. 2) | This was, after all, not her place. It wasn’t her garden, but it was someone’s [Garden of Sanctuary]. And with the exception of the Strongest of Pomle, Collos, each and every other owner had truly needed this place and changed it to become integral to them. |
| 9.58 O | Collos, the First Strongest, was waiting on the cliffs surrounding Pomle as Orjin caught his breath. |
| 9.58 O | Collos was looking into the horizon, coughing every few minutes, his magnificent body ruined by the sickness that had consumed him. |
| 9.58 O | Collos pulled him up without a word. Orjin caught his breath and turned to thank…no one. Collos was gone. But instead of the familiar landscape, Orjin saw it was Pomle again. |
