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.

Prey and Predator (1)

The beginning part of the journey was through grassland. The last part was through a dense forest of high grass and short trees.

The challenge in navigating through such a landscape came down to visibility. The bushes closed behind the people passing through them. Also, there was no sight over the surroundings. 

The Knights of Lasttown knew these paths. Grint ordered his Knights to divide themselves into different groups, leading smaller groups through the bush. 

Hex gestured Althea and Hestia to stick close to him. The moment he heard Rose mention Clannad's name, he became alert. He kept an eye out on Grump who was assigned to their small group to lead them through the bush.

'Rose didn't seem to know about the latest developments but Grint should know. He is the mayor. There is no way he wouldn't keep an eye out on things happening around him. The question is, what does he know and will that affect us?'
