Hallelujah!

On the advice of my local mystical spiritual leader, I climbed a mountain and fought a bunch of zombies in order to purify my soul. This is because of some sort of legend that goes a little something like this:

Seriously, you guys. Give me a little help here. I've played this game like fifty million times and I have no idea what this is supposed to even mean. Is it about how Cecil is some sort of great hero? He wasn't born from a dragon's mouth, he was born from what I can only assume were the genitals of moon people. And what is the light of eternity, and what's blessing Mother Earth with mercy and salvation?? Arrrgh! Kammy no like obtuse prophecy! Kammy smash! Kammy level! Kammy continue with plot of game!

Hooray! I defeated my evil former self in single combat by not fighting at all. (Remember this trick, we'll be seeing it in sweet optional battles for the next couple of games.) This has proven that my soul is worthy, and that I can receive sweet new powers and be a lot more awesome than I used to.... oh.

Goddammit. I have to start from level one all over. It's almost as if the character of Cecil were... born again?

Which I suppose leads to awkward conversations like this.
