Meiko: Today I'm talking to Paris, a soldier who temporarily fought for the Highland rebel army. Paris, you fought with Rock for a while, but you're not from Highland, right?
Paris: That's right. I'm from Cayeska.
Meiko: I assume you used to serve in the Cayeskan army, then. How did you end up with the rebel army?
Paris: Long story. I wasn't happy in Cayeska, so I left the army and live more or less as a mercenary. I fought for whoever kept me fed. That's not to say I have no principles, though. Attacking civilians is a big no. I tried to stick mostly to jobs as a bodyguard or protecting caravans. I ended up in Highland that way a while back, and we got into some trouble with the border guard there. Wouldn't let us through without compensation, if you catch my drift. Long story short, after we got out of that mess I got in touch with Rock and decided I'd help him clean up the place.
Meiko: So you were never a 'real' member of the rebellion? Why'd he trust you, then?
Paris: He needed my help to take Grunthall. There weren't a lot of real ex-army officers in his little band. I guess it was just his intuition.
Meiko: You're serving in the Elysium army now, but what are your plans for the future?
Paris: Who knows. I'll stay here as long as I'm feeling good about it. Why leave when you haven't found anything better yet?
