After a long year of war.. the tyranny of Hedias; the former hero, and the city's traitor, had finally come to meet his end.
...
Yet the hero has faced not just peace and tranquility for once.. but, something.. unexpected.
The sounds of distant chirping and trickling water could be heard far outside the room, followed by a soft— yet unfamiliar, melodic hum echoing in the lang halls of the large house.
A cozy, and harmonic sound.. a far cry from the blood wretching screams, and cracking fire that can be often heard outside one's house..

..That is, until he turned to a corner.. his footsteps suddenly came into a halt as he bumped into a small figure, making his eyes widen in surprise.. speak of the devil.
"Ah, you're awake.."
