The Stonehearted Knight

Heaven favors the strong and wealthy. Hex realized that the day he was thrown out of the cloister and into the slums. He vowed to become the baron and show what being strong meant. To forge his own destiny, Hex scavenged the mountains, braving the cold solitude with a smile. At last, one day, he gained his chance on the verge of life and death. Even then, society and Fate tried to interfere. Faced with death, his Will didn’t waver and he gritted through, forcing his Heart to awaken. The Stone Heart in his chest defied his destiny and helped him write his own. Emboldened by his Heart of Stone, he walked the path to his dreams. His dreams, however, threatened to put him in the middle of the crossfire between Powers that could destroy Earth and Sky. Hex couldn’t allow his dreams to shatter. So, he sought to destroy all those who threatened his dreams. Follow a young man on his quest to fulfill his dreams, even if it meant to destroy Heaven and Earth. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I have a discord.

Launching the attack (1)

"This is your mission?"

Hex detected a mixture of disbelief and pride in Althea's voice. A rare instance of curiosity could be seen in her eyes.

"Kind of."

He gave her a sheepish smile while scratching the back of his head. But a moment later, his smile froze.

"What?" Althea didn't miss the change on his face.

"Heartless. Hordes of them are on their way here. And all of them are at the Disaster stage."

He sensed the creatures hurrying toward them. What shocked him was the direction they were coming from, the gates. 

'The Gatekeeper is here. Did they breach the gate or is this planned?'

A sense of urgency filled his heart. He started to formulate a route through which they could escape.

Hex didn't plan on retreating when he entered the Temple but knowing that an entire team could be at risk, he changed his plan. The other things could be postponed as long as he could help Althea and her friends out.
