The departed
The young man and Aldrich walked over to the house in between, the young man went in alone and Aldrich waited outside.
He was actually a little nervous even though he knew what he was here to do. He just didn't know how to tell a man that his brother was dead.
Should he talk about Cazmer's oathbreak? It might seem like something that shouldn't be said but Cazmer was already dead, his family deserved to know the truth, right?
However, Aldrich didn't want Cazmer to be remembered as a madman. At least he didn't want to be the one to deliver this news.
Unfortunately there were many things that he did not want to do. Many things that he would rather not confront but here he was, it was something that he simply had to do.
Aldrich tried to think of how he should say it, but every time he tried to form some coherent thoughts they would scatter like sand castles in high tide.
