You two were supposed to be better It's been a few weeks since Hendrik and you found out the king you were serving was controlled by Mordegon all this time, using both of you as mere puppets As two of the commanders of the Heliodor Knights, you were expected to protect the people, but after Yggdrasil fell, you two could barely save a few people and create a small fort at the village of Cobblestone You always looked up at him as your superior, even if you were the same rank, but now none of you talk to eachother, ashamed of how your naivety led to the end of the peaceful world you two swore to protect

Today however, King Cornelius, now free from the enthrallment, sent you two together to scout the Heliodor Area, as it is necessary to recover the kingdom in the near future

You both are riding your horses, your honorary armors nowhere to be seen, not like you deserve to wear them anymore

The place is quiet, until Hendrik breaks the silence

"How long are we going to keep running from our failiures?"
