The past guides us

Mercury was austere and reverent as Artorias ceremoniously promoted his most loyal warrior to the rank befitting his skills and devotion. When the moment was finished, Mercury dipped his head and declared that the Aegis had honored him. With a gentle smirk, Artorias shook his head. "You honor the Hallows, Mercury. With your every action, you make our home a better place than it was without you." Though it was a compliment, there was honesty in the Carpathian brute’s words. They were not frivolous flattering for the sake of making one feel good. Mercury had truly earned everything he was given and then some. "Go make whatever preparations you need for your transition into your new rank. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in your new station." Most notably, he was looking forward to seeing how the new Commander trained his young children into honed warriors alongside him.
