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.

Self-Given Mission

Previously, it had taken Kael twelve days on his horse to reach the Barony of Dolcan from the capital.

But after his escape, for some unknown reason, he returned even faster. In exactly nine days.

He had tried to return as soon as possible, without much rest. And he succeeded as well as he could.

At the same time, unexpectedly... he was a bit attached to his horse.

It was a fast and powerful horse. Only, in some situations... he could sulk like a human, at least that's what Kael felt from it, but other than that... it was quite friendly.

Still, these were all things he would have to think about later. After all, there was something he had to do now that he had made it back to the capital...

And he was standing outside Hakon's room right now to do exactly that.

He knocked gently, then stepped back slightly, waiting for an answer.

He had only just arrived to the capital. So Hakon might not have realized it was him.
