Light's Hope

Michael

As the darkness lifted from around Michael, he found himself surrounded by the abandoned cottages of their base of operations. He looked around the small town of ember and was reminded that this was not the same kingdom he had once known.

The few days Will had been away was enough for Michael to ponder the changes his home had underwent. No matter what Leo had told him, nothing but witnessing the destruction first hand could have made him truly understand the gravity of the situation they faced.

As Leo was deep in thought, Michael came up from behind him. "Well, this is nostalgic." He said as he took a deep breath of fresh air. "Its been too long since I stepped foot in Nearwood," Michael lightly tapped himself on the head, "my bad, I meant Ember." Years of familiarity with the name had him at a loss for words. He knew his nephew had changes in place, yet he couldn't help but wonder how the kid was going to resurrect the graveyard of a town.
