End of the road
In the silence of the Spire, Liam did not have anywhere to run. He was forced to process the thoughts in his mind instead of shelving them away like he usually did.
Constantly facing one dangerous situation after another had made him strong but also weak. There were plenty of scars left behind. Scars that were not just physical, but mental and emotional.
These scars had shaped his decisions, his actions, and his very way of being. They were reminders of his struggles, his losses, and his perseverance. But they were also barriers, preventing him from truly understanding himself and his purpose.
He had received a second chance at life but he had spent very little of it with people who mattered. Instead, all of it was spent on battle and carnage and yet he was nowhere near becoming an actual threat to his enemies.
