During the Great Fire of Arün five years ago, Prince Laverne Ingerman stared down death, succumbed to fear and accepted that his life was at its end to save his father. However, Laverne survived thanks to his father's love for his children and King Valka took Laverne's place in the afterlife. Now, King Laverne has one wish: to resurrect Valka. Unfortunately for him, there is only one way to get his impossible wish granted: resurrect the dead gods. 
 

What Is Done

Traversing around the rest of Lake Oribel, we were silent. The only sounds heard were the horses' hooves clicking against the stones and dirt. 


My mind had been wandering. We had learned about a new piece of Sellion, one that I hadn't thought possible. He had had a girlfriend–a lover–at some point. He traveled alongside her friends, too. They were all too chummy to have been complete strangers. Noa and Ersli no longer saw him as a friend due to what he'd done to Hollyanne. Grindel hinted that they had been close. Judging from her personality, Grindel was likely the only one who could have forgiven him. 


I wonder what had truly given Sellion the impulse to come to Elven Guard; to my father. Hollyanne hadn't known who my father had been to Sellion. It was entirely logical that my father and Sellion had known each other well before Father had hired him. 


I wanted Sellion to explain everything to me. I prepared to ask a question when Essaerae began to speak, posing her own question.
