Markel sighs, "You assume I claim to be a good man, or that I believe such a thing exists. Secondly, I am not so naïve as to think anything He gives has saving the lives of others at its heart. In this case it is merely an afterthought for what he may truly wish for the Cairn."

Markel claps his hands together as he leans forward, "None of what I claimed is an untruth. His commandment was to guard the Cairn, which does keep it free of the grasp of those who may use it nefariously. My acceptance of His word would not have mattered, as He would well found another to carry it out. My decline of his word would have ended with my life, or perhaps even the lives of those with me if I declined. I also did not claim to not have felt the same sensations upon his arrival, but I simply accept them as a fact of his being rather than dwell on it."

He leans back, "But to answer your question, I am a man after knowledge. I wish to learn all there is to learn, and my Lord is as much steeped in knowledge as He is in the Dark."

He sighs once more, the look in his eye obviously missing the friendly manner of the demon already. Even the dark sorcerer was not immune to her charms it seemed, "I cannot change my choices in my past regardless Lady Adelaide. I am now on this path, and must see it through. If it leads to good I will be pleased. If leads to ruin, I pray it is limited so that I may continue my work without the hassle being marked a villain brings. I have no other options."
