Mirium: I don’t understand… I thought the Trials were only for the magi. Why do they want Evelos?
Keelath: Well, the Light is a kind of magic. And with us as his parents…! I’m a paladin. You use it to heal. I am certain he has it in him!
Mirium: Yes, but the Trials usually are for destructive magics…
Keelath: Granted, I have never seen him USE Light magic–
Mirium: Keelath…
Keelath: To fight or to heal–
Mirium: Keelath! He’s probably–
Keelath: But if given the opportunity…! …and this is certainly an opportunity…
Mirium: Keelath…

Mirium: KEELATH!!!
Keelath: Yes?
