It has 3 years since Acel fled his home and disappeared into the wilds of Alkor, a nation utterly torn apart by a 30 years war. It's East falling to internal bandits and it's West under constant enemy attack.
The years of living in the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of the West have caused Acel to become cold, jaded, and purely self-interested; or so he thinks. His only wish now is to leave this country far, away from the men of his past that continue to pursue him.
Making it halfway across the country he was once again found by the man that drove him to live this life. However, this time Acel will not run. He will take the fight to the tyrant of his life and end his reign once and for all.
Maybe then he can finally have his past life back.
