[he scratches his head, frowning, and just... well. he improvises in fights all the time, but telling stories? not so much. no where to go but the truth-- and Sora'd been wanting to tell Rise about this anyway.]
But, uh... [and Sora pauses for a minute or so here, wracking his brain for a way to put this.]
The princess had lost something really important back when their kingdom was overrun. Something that makes everybody who they are. But she had hidden it somewhere safe. And right before they fought, the older knight told the younger knight that she had hidden it within him.
The younger knight wound up winning that fight, but he had an important decision to make. He could chase after the older knight, or he could give the princess back what belonged to her. He chose to help the princess, but in order to do that he had to release that part of her that was sleeping within him. So he had to... sacrifice himself, I guess is a good way to put it.
