You wouldn't expect that a guy named Lone Wolf (who, fittingly, usually travels alone) would have many opportunities for heartwarming moments, but occasionally we have...
- In book 1, when Lone Wolf gets to the outer defenses of the capital, he meets soldiers who are trying to hold the line against the advancing Darkland hordes. Their sergeant beseeches him, saying "My Lord, where are the other Kai Masters? We are in desperate need of their wisdom. The Darklords press us most cruelly and casualties are high." Even though Lone Wolf is only a teenager (and his answer to the sergeant's question is far from reassuring), it speaks volumes for the Kai Order that these desperate soldiers can still address him as "lord" and appeal to him for help.
- At the end of book 1, after Lone Wolf has survived his harrowing journey to warn the king about the massacre of the Kai, the king warmly receives him, taking his hand and stating that even though the massacre of the Kai is a grievous blow, Lone Wolf's determination is a beacon of hope to everyone in this dark hour. Everyone else in the court echoes the king's sentiment, and the praise is enough to make Lone Wolf blush. The king goes on to state that even though Lone Wolf has already done as much as Sommerlund could ask of a loyal son, their country has great need of him still, setting up the quest to retrieve the Sommerswerd. Despite the horrors he has already endured, and despite the fact that he is nowhere near the nigh-demigod that he'll become a couple dozen books from now, Lone Wolf doesn't hesitate to put his life on the line again for the sake of his people.
- In book 2, after Lord-Lieutenant Rhygar and Lone Wolf are ambushed by Helghasts, Rhygar elects to make a Heroic Sacrifice so that Lone Wolf can escape. Even if Lone Wolf doesn't give him a magic weapon (thus leaving him with no hope of wounding, much less defeating a Helghast), Rhygar doesn't shirk from his fate. It isn't said in as many words, but the man clearly feels it's worth laying down his life if it can buy Lone Wolf even another minute of time to complete his mission to save their homeland.
- In book 3, Lone Wolf rescues Loi-Kymar, a Brotherhood of the Crystal Star mage who Vonotar captured, spirited away to distant and desolate Kalte, and has been torturing for information. Upon being discovered in his cell, Loi-Kymar exclaims "Upon my soul, a Kai Lord!" and goes on to remark that even though he never gave up hope of rescue, he never dared expect such an "illustrious" rescuer.
- In book 11, a bunch of ghostly beings first scare Lone Wolf with visions of every enemy he's ever faced, then they show him visions of his family and every friend he's ever made. All of these people helped shape his destiny. Afterwards, Kai himself puts in an appearance to remind Lone Wolf that he has the strength to save his world and then teleport him to his destination.
- In book 18, Lone Wolf notices a crowd gathered around a faith healer. The angry mob is ready to attack him for having no progress in fixing a woman's headache. When Lone Wolf realizes that the man has no powers, but genuinely wants to help people, he discreetly uses his own powers to cure the woman, turning the old man into a hero for his village. Funny Moment: As part of the act, Lone Wolf plants the old man's hands on the woman's chest.
- Another one from Book 18. After defeating the Ghost of Roark haunting the ruined and deserted town of Amory, Lone Wolf wakes up in the morning to sunshine and birdsong, and his spirits are lifted when he realizes that life is already returning to the place.
