A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters. But when you're alive, there's hope. The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice. Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. Or. Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself. https://discord.gg/kBKaTtsrpb
Varian raised his head and glanced at the glowing building with a frown. He felt a weak aura shockwave from the venue of the celebration.
"Theoron says it's gonna be tomorrow. Even Akira implied that. There's no way they'll do it tod—"
BOOM!
The large building a few miles exploded with a deafening bang. The night sky suddenly had a blinding white mushroom cloud that rose beyond the clouds.
"Shit." Varian cursed under his breath and his appearance morphed into that of a well-known rank 3 Imperial guard officer.
His feet tapped the floor and he flashed forward to the Duchy's Main Palace in an instant.
"Who are you?"
"R-Raven, verify yourself! Why are you here?"
The guards at the imperial palace pointed their weapons at him and unleashed their killing intent.
Thankfully, the moment the venue exploded, most of the powerful members in the palace hurried there.
