IVAN'S POV
I have always believed that true friendship is a rare and precious gift, one that can weather any storm and withstand the test of time. And in my life, there is no greater testament to this than the bond I share with my friend, Harald.
I had been eagerly awaiting the return of Harald and Freya, especially after hearing that they had just come back from Azar's kingdom. It had been years since we last saw each other, and I was anxious to catch up with them and hear about their experiences.
As I stood at the gate, watching the road for any sign of their arrival, memories of our past adventures flooded my mind. Harald and I had been through so much together, and I considered him more than just a friend – he was like a brother to me. I think he has always been even when I claimed to be mad at him.
