Karyk stood alone in his room, the badge warm in his hand with a faint abyssal essence.
He was intrigued by the intentions of the Drike Family Head. It was clearly not a well-intentioned opportunity.
He had read about the battlefield. It was known as the graveyard of all life, but also the most treasured land.
Only those younger than three hundred years could enter the battlefield, and almost none returned alive.
The great families never sent their direct heirs, no matter how important the place was.
At best, they only sent the secondary heirs into the battlefield, that too with many life saving treasures. Without those treasures and support, survival was impossible.
Those who had managed to return alive from the battlefield, were often from these great families that could afford such treasures.
Those who returned alive were from the strongest families, which allowed them to enter with life-saving treasures.
