Armed with sword of broken light

Your hammer swing met with the same success as your opponent. With a backswing of the bottom of his polearm, your weapons clash and bounce apart. Following the bounce, the warrior continues the swing of his weapon, aiming at your middle. The polearm hits its mark, barely cutting through to draw blood

The force with which your swing lands on the warrior's arm spins him around. He falls to the ground, weapon skittering away. He barely moves, you're not sure if he's still breathing.

He groans and with great effort lifts his head to sneer at you before falling unconscious.

You eventually find some rope. As you bind the elf, you realize he has stopped breathing. Taking him to the Hall of Blood proves to be a bit of a labor. Lady Liadrin doesn't seem surprised at all to see you or your "burden". She looks expectantly to you at first, but quickly addresses you. "You have overcome your opponent. That is no small feat but also not unexpected. This has been orchestrated for you to teach you about the power of the Light. As a former priestess of the Light, I have experience with that power." She gestures to the captured naaru. "Now, we command that power." She raises a small crystal phial before you. "Tap that power. Fill this vessel with the naaru's energy."

You begin to pray in what sounds like a passive tone, requesting and seeking assistance from the Light. Lady Liadrin cuts you off tersely. "Do not ask. Command! That creature embodies the very powers that abandoned us in our hour of need against the Scourge." Rage and pain mix in her eyes as she turns to fully face the naaru, arm outstretched, palm facing the creature, and her fingers like claws. Both her hand and the naaru begin to glow with a soft aura of gold flecked with crimson. The soft music that you have heard in this building which you had previously thought to be an enchantment changes suddenly. It becomes a discordant, pained cry. It comes from the naaru. It lasts but a moment and all goes quiet as the Blood Knight matriarch stops. "As sin'dorei, it is our birthright to command power. Do not forget."

The energy you tap from the creature is warm and comforting. You siphon it into the phial Lady Liadrin gave you. It is golden and pure and shimmering.

*~{Level up}~*

The Blood Knight matriarch instructs you, "This phial is for you to study. Intimately familiarize yourself with this power. Draw upon it while out defending our land and people." She turns toward your bound foe. "Now, use your new found power to restore vitality to your opponent."

As you prepare to wield the light for the first time, Lady Liadrin has the warrior unbound.

As you focus on the holy energies, the now unbound warrior is briefly covered in a soft, golden aura. His breathing returns to normal and he opens his eyes, addressing Lady Liadrin. "Mistress..."
"You have done well. Go now, and return to me tomorrow." The warrior leaves, ignoring you.
