No Time to Help

"Sire! A message from the Lord Priest of Ahael!"

Xarnelf raised his eyebrows at the approaching man. "The Arcaean?"

"Yes, sire, he requests aid. Some monstrosities have been terrorizing outlying villages recently."

"Thank you."

The messenger saluted and ran off, while Xarnelf continued on the road to Ornaz. After a moment of silence, his captain next to him inquired, "Milord, aren't we going to deal with them?"

"We do not have time, Mathias. We must refit and return to kill some more Soliferites."

The captain's eyes widened in shock. This was not what the Hero of old would have said! How much he had changed since before Yleina's passing... The tireless thought of vengeance was indeed altering his liege's very demeanor and personality with increasing profoundness, as more time passed. Mathias could only sigh and shake his head, feeling utterly helpless in guiding his leader back to his former self.
