Back to the Cusca
Awakening from his greatest nightmare, Mero awoke to a terrible day he had been preparing for years.
In Noskain, death and murder happen all the time. Rivalries and differences were solved with murder. People killed their relatives to get their land, while brothers killed brothers for the position of heir.
At the same time, diseases incurable by the methods of that time killed large numbers of people every year, the main reason behind the local life expectancy of only 39 years.
So as the only child of his father and mother, Mero had grown up while learning to be strong, for one day, his father, his greatest support, might die and leave him alone.
As a good father and husband, Mero's father had raised his son so that he would not be helpless when that day came. Hence, this man had done his best so that Mero could take care of his mother when he was no longer in this world.
