[The old man Ky is confronting sits on his wheelchair and gives Ky an amused, yet dirty look. It figures that somebody would've caught up to him one day, but Porky didn't imagine it would be such a young temple knight. Putting himself in a seat of power within the Church, Porky planned to use his influence to slowly shape the empire the way he wanted to. His ultimate plans involve the Rift, of course, but... exactly what he wanted was still a mystery.
Whatever the case, Porky's words and influence have resulted in the systematic destruction of the old religions and their believers.]
[Ky did not want to raise his sword against a Church Elder, but he could not turn his eyes away from the corruption and twisting of Doctrine to suit a vile end]
I would prefer not to, Elder. But your actions must stop - I cannot allow you to wield the church as a weapon against innocents. Please, surrender and throw yourself at the mercy of the ecclesiastical court.
[None of Ky's words seemed to have a remarkable effect on Porky. He didn't fear the law. He knew what those courts were capable of and even if he was "thrown at its mercy", he could find a way out regardless. Besides, there was nothing that could be done to him that would stop his ambitions.]
A weapon? Hehe... But it's not even that. I think that... the church is more like a toy. It's a toy for cardinals like Delacroix to play with... that would get the little ants called people do as they want without question.
I'm not prepared... to give up such a fun toy, Ky. Not now.
It seems some heretics have come into possession of an artifact of significant import. Though we know not what it does, I am afraid that waiting could prove disastrous. Your knights will be needed in recovering the artifact and appropriately chastising these men and recovering the yellow stone they hold.

... Hello, Ky. Are you going to kill me?
