Sick Soldier
The crew encounters a young man fending for himself alone against a horde of monsters and saves him just in time. Upon discovering that (Captain) wields Mandau the Demonsealer, he asks to join the crew.
Vyrn: Keep your guard up, (Captain)! Monsters could show up at any second...
Monster: Grooooar!
Vyrn: Whoa, over there! Monsters... Hey, wait! Look, (Captain)!
Vyrn: Hey! You there! Hmm... why's that guy fighting those monsters by himself?
Vyrn: Uh, hey! You all right there? That guy... He's gonna get himself killed! We gotta do something!
The man known as Zehek had taken on the monsters alone. Only thanks to (Captain)'s help was he able to survive.
After being saved by (Captain) and company, he decides to share the story of his life—a life cursed from birth.
He was born with an illness that made him a spring of magical power, drawing monsters from near and far in search of such a power.
Vyrn: Gotcha... So that's why you were fighting them...
Zehek: Indeed—cough—they just come out in torrents. It seems to have no end...
Zehek: Cough... Wheeze... I can't stop it no matter how hard I try...
Zehek: I couldn't—cough—I couldn't endanger the people a-around me. So I set out alone—ahem!
Vyrn: You all right there? You sound like you're at death's door!
Zehek: Well... I've been fighting for... around 100 days now... Wheeze...
Vyrn: Say what! You've been fighting for 100 days? That's crazy...
Zehek: I'm truly thankful... for your...
Vyrn: Eep! D-did he just die? What are we gonna do, (Captain)!
Zehek: But you know... Since you showed up the monsters have stopped coming. Why?
Vyrn: Whoa! You're still with us!
Zehek: Gasp! That sword you wield... Mandau? Is that Mandau the Demonsealer?
Vyrn: What? You know about this sword?
Vyrn: That's, uh, quite the name. I don't think we've seen it do much demon sealing...
Zehek: P-please bring it closer...
Zehek: Yes... This rune right here—it's the very same one they put on me! I... I feel it...
Zehek: I feel it! Mandau and I... We... Ugh...
The ancient malady awakens the latent sealing power within the Mandau. For the time being, Zehek is safe.
Zehek: Those outfits... You must be skyfarers.
Vyrn: Yup! And (Captain) here's our captain!
Zehek: I knew it... It must have been fate that placed that blade into your hands.
Zehek: Your strength is true... Please let me ask you this!
Zehek: Please allow me to join your crew! I won't cause any trouble. So long as you have the blade...
Choose: We'll find a way to manage your sickness.
Vyrn: Put 'er there, pal! You're gonna be better in no time!
Choose: We can't just leave you here. You're sick!
Vyrn: Yeah, no kidding! There's no way we're gonna leave you out here lookin' like this!

Zehek: M-much appreciated! I'll surely find a cure along... the...
Vyrn: Yikes! He just fainted again! Hey! Get a hold of yourself, man!
After years of suffering, Zehek has finally found a moment of respite.
However, the sickness still ails him—his quest for the cure has only just begun.
