Chapter 5 "Vocare Ad Regnum"

The air was still in his mind. As they sped through the terrain on magical streams, nothing else entered his thoughts. The image had been branded into his memory. The cloaked figure carried Aiden away, as the hope of his retribution was lost forever. From the moment of his 8^th rising he had experienced nothing but death in the wake of his becoming. They came to an alcove just off of the southwestern shores of Renaultus, a small port town outside of Lion'el Castle. As the magical streams dispersed, they descended upon land. Aiden, stricken with grief could do nothing but lash out on the cloaked figure. Tears streaming down his face, his arms wailing, there was nothing the figure could do but hug and console him. Both his anger and sorrow were intertwined into one emotion.
