Rafael simply couldn't help but feel his father was talking with him from his past. He finally understood what it meant and realized how foolish his attitude was up to that moment. He also understood why the soldier took advantage of him, he surely made it clear he was doubtful of being a captain, he finally was able to talk again "You're right Damian. Everyone needs to believe a bit in themselves. Well, we gotta be ready for tomorrow. The march on the dessert will be a tough test, since we enter enemy territory. thanks again Damian, get some rest."
As he left, he felt a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He couldn't help but let go a smile and begin to believe in himself a bit more. Some more memories of his past came back that night, memories he thought long lost.
Ralph, we'll be friends forever right?
Of course we'll be Erika, I promise it.
I gotta go, my family lives in Phinora, thanks for the time Ralph!
We'll meet again Erika!
I wonder how Erika's doing. We lost contact since Alvis' rule began. She's surely fine, I have nothing to worry about.
I've got to stay calm and focused...for tomorrow we may find the truth behind all of this mess.
