The papers revealed he had made a forged letter from me.

I was furious. Disgusted. I wanted to do something. Anything. But what could I do?

Winter was setting in. We only had so many options. We're monks, not spies. We couldn't attack. We couldn't even stand against him in public.
Kintal

We couldn't match the military force he had. Any public action on my part would have led to him taking the temple by force. The blood of all of us would be on my hands, and he would have direct access to the Temple's power at will.

Five monks volunteered to try to solicit support from various groups. Something, anything. I allowed it.

Cierto returned to Felishon, to try to get any more information he could.

I reached out to the spirits of my previous abbots for guidance, but... nothing. It was like everyone had abandoned us.

The only thing I could do was to put a powerful seal on the temple gates in response. Only I could unlock it, and if he slayed us, he would find it all for naught. And so I had to wait again.

And then near the end of the winter, something changed in the Air Temple. We all felt it.
Kintal

I took it as a sign something had happened back in Felishon. We all prayed for the best.

As winter drew to a close, everyone returned. They all had the same news.

The demon had fallen.

You were the only one left alive. And now the leader of the Air Tribe.

I was overjoyed at least someone had survived, but I feel that I'd betrayed all of you.

My name had been used to harm, to kill. I couldn't do anything to stop that.

I couldn't even bring myself to send a message to you. I thought you'd hate to see even my name.

I was a coward, Illos. Which is why I plan on stepping down as Head Abbot.
Kintal

In your time of need, in ALL of your times of need, I could do nothing. I'm not fit to lead anyone.
Kintal

I will remove the seal tomorrow morning, and after you finish your business in the Temple, I will resign and leave the Temple.
Kintal

Now do it.

...attack.

Heh. A perfect hand. Once more, there is nothing I can do.
