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.

Better than anticipated

Hex's interest peaked when he heard Laila call the young man the Duke's heir. This was one of the people eying the land around Grindeston. 

'His energy is more abundant than other Knights I have encountered. Even Laila's energy seems a bit weaker than his.'

The Commander mentioned the Duke wished to acquire more Fiend crystals to increase the chance of his son being taken in by the Paladins. This helped Hex understand how high the requirements of the three factions were if even a half-step Refinement Knight wasn't guaranteed entry. 

"Adept Mike, I am Tarquin Tauriel, son of Theonin Tauriel, Duke of the North. I would like to invite you as a Refiner of my family. I assure you, we will have plenty of resources for you to hone your craft."
