“Someday I won’t be here to guide you. What will you do then?”

That’s what Doc said before he killed the Talarians who beheaded the Chief, and I woke up learning their army dragged him off in chains. He did it to protect me. But he’s all that I have left.

My name is Ao. I grew up in Kanrir, a verdant village surrounded by desolate wastelands. I was taught demonic creatures stalked the planet since it had turned. Now I know superstitions are folktales, but it makes nothing less dangerous. Especially since I’ll be rescuing Doc alone.

It’s a dumb idea but I owe that man my life. It doesn’t matter who I hurt or how much I’ll hurt to get him back. It doesn’t even matter if I die. For the last ten years, I’ve been living on borrowed time.
