Everyone carries traces of the people they encounter-some fade with time, others become part of who you are. Nathan Hale is thrust into a world of heroes, shadows, and dangers unseen. Some lessons are learned in battle, others in the quiet moments between-and some echoes last far longer than expected. In a world that tests loyalty, courage, and identity, Nathan must navigate what it truly means to belong. Disclaimer: This story is a work of fanfiction.
