"Chosen one, out of fear from a force they don't know. Your whole community betrayed you."

.........Yes I figured something like that was happening.

 

Because it doesn't make sense.

 

Steve confessed. Stopped after that.

Confession was to the entirety.

 

That is why trials stopped.

 

Otherwise why would I be allowed to continue without continued trial?

 

It only revived itself after a long time. And something happened there to bury the past.
