But he changes the subject quickly enough. "Flik and Viktor, those guys Riou and I dressed like, were also original members of the Liberation Army... Anyway, because the original hideout was compromised, we requisitioned a castle in the middle of the lake, Toran Castle. Our first objective was to expand our power so we could face the Imperial Army as equals. And As our army expanded, we were able to attack the Empire's strongholds.
"That was when we realised that that witch had been manipulating the Imperial generals by using a rune--she was controlling them and the Kobolds... We were able to save all of them, and they joined us when they realised what the Empire had become. That it had sunk to using Black Runes to control people..."
