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.

The greater picture (2)

"You killed her because she easily gained your trust?"

"Yes."

The old steward stared slackjawed at the young man in front of him. The look of slight regret on his face while Alvira's blood dripped from the sword in his hand, painted a contrasting picture. 

'He is a great threat to the greater picture,' the steward couldn't help but conclude. 

Hex didn't know nor care about the man's thoughts. He honestly killed the woman because of the trust she generated in him. Hex knew himself too well. To this day he struggled to trust the girl he liked completely. So, why would he trust a woman he barely knew?

He could analyze and find a way to break whatever technique she used but why would he take his chance? Hex didn't think he was overly smart. Instead of taking risks, he ended the source.
