Michael is aware of his cowardice. Exiled from the Royal Capital, Varolon, for committing one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, he fled justice with the help of a powerful warrior who took pity on him, vanishing into the countryside.
With nowhere else to go, he settled in the remote village of Initium, hidden from the kingdom's watchful eyes. There, Michael quietly resigned himself to a humble existence, working at a local tavern and accepting his fate as Henry.
Three years have passed. Now nineteen, Michael (Now Henry) has grown comfortable in his new reality.
