The kindly face of his Lord was familiar and His presence was most soothing also. As Richard laid his troubled heart before Him, he already felt that the answers to all things were now possible, and he was instantly calmed.
The greatest of Kings then spoke to him saying:
"The work of vanquishing evil is not yours alone dear Richard - and your merits so won, now add to the pot of all Men.
“For it is upon every soul to see and withstand the conceits that deride their kind.
"By your wish I can become, and by my will you shall now be - and all is well.
“Evil itself can only have presence when it is invited. Fear not, for its dominions are small and its reach, incomplete.And so saying he closed Richard's eyes who had swept out into a heavenly sleep.
“We may go now."
-Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander Series
