The Path of Ruin

The sky was painted gray forever. The light of the sun was restrained. The darkness of the night was deeper than ever. At such a time, he belonged to a class people didn't even recognize as 'human'. He was at the bottom of the social stratum, a slave. And when his only family was taken away from him... he no longer had a purpose in life. Yet, he clung to life because of his promise. And he set an impossible goal for himself, just so he'd have an excuse to live. When he finally reached a place he never expected to be, in pursuit of a purpose he expected to fail and die miserably trying to fulfill... he awoke to a night that would change his entire life.

Being a Part of the Scout Team

Kael didn't really cause any trouble. He took the position he was told. He started to make a circle on the route he was told, making sure that he didn't fall behind the main group that was moving forward.

A few times, at first, he realized that he had made a mistake, that he was lagging behind the group, and corrected himself. A few times, he had to be corrected by one of the men who was constantly watching him.

But with every mistake he made, he got more into the role. He adapted quite quickly.

But he was still not happy. He was far from happy, in fact.

'Do the other scouts move faster than me and clean everything or am I just unlucky...'

He couldn't be sure. But... frankly, he gave the second possibility more chance. That he was unlucky.

And, with that, another hour passed... Another hour without encountering a single living being.
