A New Life?

"Central Alliance?" Thane stuttered, he was more than shocked about everything that had happened to him in the last hour, learning that Kayden had hidden such an important aspect of his life from him was jarring, he had known that Gran Zenin had something to do with it but keeping it from was just hurtful.

"Don't you want to go?" Wistoria turned around to look at Thane for the first time, "I haven't had a chance to see your worth but you are alive, despite having traveled with this fool so you're not a wasteful sack of meat and bones" She turned her attention back to the Clan Head.

For some reason, those words stung deeply. Thane couldn't understand why, but having someone compare him with Kayden, Kayden who had just become a martial warrior this year, was hurtful to his ego. Better yet, he was being treated better than Thane was, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.
