Elen's stupid reservation got Tigre hurt. A single shot of her tornado beam would have slaughtered that knight.

I do understand where she is coming from though. It isn't morality but pride that is getting in her way. She doesn't want to "cheat" and defeat someone supposedly her equal using magic. It would be akin to admitting that she is an inferior warrior, which is actually true in this case.

@Kraco - He is shocked at being labeled a traitor because he never betrayed his country. He only tried to protect his territory from corrupt assholes. He didn't ally himself with Zchted. He technically hired them for his purposes, which has nothing to do with betraying his country.
