The Debt of Blood
The elder son was overcome by strong remorse.
He was too disturbed to hide that secret anymore, and so, he went and confessed everything to the husband.
The heartbroken man took his own life later that night.
Another death stained the floors of the inn.
They had buried too many dark secrets inside, but it was the only time they haunted the old man.
A few days later, his eldest son left the house.
He had been whispering too much to himself lately, telling his father again and again that they should go and save his sister.
He insisted they need to apologise.
The old man ignored it all, too afraid to confront the biggest regret of his life. But when he saw his son walking towards the forest, he was crushed.
Yet, he did nothing.
Meanwhile, Orwyn had been watching all that happened in the inn silently. He was aware of every death, every deceit. But always pretended to not know it.
