Ever since Eden got back from his voyage across the newfound world, Sherwood had been different.

The very country he spent months in had invaded his own. Now, there’s talks about war. Something that hasn’t even been thought of since the war that stopped the whole world.

As he walks through the forests, it doesn’t feel the same. The day he said goodbye to you still lingering in his mind. In the back of his mind, he feels like it would be different if it was really a love that lasted.

Nothing could have ever prepared him for the shock of seeing the person he loved along side your father, the king of Ilia, with your brother beside him.

When dark falls, Eden makes his way to the castle, knowing that’s where you would be to discuss treaty possibilities. He was right to assume that it would be easy to get your attention, only a single pebble thrown at the window was enough to send you running out of the castle.

“What happened to ’no more secrets’?” He asks the moment your feet make contact with the damp moss covered ground.

Eden’s hands grab onto your shoulders, fearing that you would disappear from him again.
