Time passed in District 42 as Ari was accepted as a new integrant of the city guards. Most of the time he was still out of the Castle, working on the streets of the south region to maintain the safety of the citizens.
He was more than one year following always the same routine, which left him used to it already. And because of his good performance, while acting with the city guards, he had a great opportunity to become a Ridire.
Ari didn't have too many friends among those people. He conversed normally with everyone, though. He wasn't shy at all, just introverted. The young guard preferred to be quiet.
The only person that could, curiously, grasp all his sympathy was Canute. He also was someone who just ingressed to the city guards, being as young as Ari.
Contrary to Ari, though, Canute wasn't a commoner. He wore a white mask since the day he was born. The boy was the son of very important Jarls of the Castle.
