The final verdict

The couple spotted John's brother's figure leaning against the few remaining shattered bars of the castle's gate. When he saw them he gave a light wave with his hand while Roselyn offered a gentle smile and John hinted a nod.

John and his brother seemed so similar not only physically but also personally, probably John's brother had trust issues as much as him and they both shared a hard complicated past which shaped their personality and toughened their souls. Maybe they would end up destroying each other or they would discover how similar they truly are and eventually find common ground.

"Ready?" John asked and his brother nodded.

John took Roselyn's hand and speeded toward the cave of the old sage, arriving few seconds after his brother. His brother grinned noticing he arrived first and John rolled his eyes.

"Stay near me," John whispered to Roselyn, before taking her hand and walking toward the entrance.
