A rush of the wind presses against my face, the scent of grass turned sour by the coming rain.
It's wrong.
This world is wrong.
How the kingdoms of Aurelia and Verthasis fight each other with only one reason.
Fear.
Fear was what shattered the crown.
And since long before that.
Demons. Creatures that existed before the concept of time. Feasting on humans, on chaos.
Something needs to change. So why haven't I?
People fight and fight until all that's left is the pool of blood that they shed. It's tiring. Humans are wrong. And that's not good enough.
Being wrong, is not good enough.
Especially not for humans. Most people aren't evil. They are tired. Confused. Afraid. If someone does not reach out to them, they harden. If no one believes they can be better, they stop trying.
If this world is already ruined, then it does not need more blades carving pieces away, it needs someone willing to nurture what little still lives.
I will walk forward.
With the belief that even in a fractured world, something good can still be grown.
My feet find the ground. The grass is wet. Somewhere ahead, Kai is already waiting.
Because right now, we're fighting the wrong people.
Because right now, everything is just a lie.
