Isn't it funny? Someone could be having a blast of their lives, happy about a success, or a breakthrough, and in a totally different part of that same world, it is the total opposite. 

_____________________________________

The world had shown Baines every possible lesson it could teach; from familial love, joy, and peace to hate, rage, betrayal, and pain.

However, before he began his journey to revenge, he was forced to witness that scene that haunted him once more. The destruction of his home.
He was about to give up on life when an unforeseen opportunity presented itself.

There, he vowed, "The world will bleed for what it has done to me."

Using the greatest collections gathered by his ancestors, he set out on the thorny path to revenge.
Little did he know, the result of his actions followed other cascading events that then threatened his world.

Does he refuse to help the world because of the pain it had caused him? Or, will he join in the destruction?

Smalltooth confirmed through their link, awe laced in her tone.

The impact of his landing sent tremors through the soil, a declaration of his arrival that immediately alerted the creature guarding the temple.

Smalltooth cried out in alarm, her wings flapping anxiously as she hovered above.

He stared forward calmly as the skeletal creature began its slow approach. The sound of its arrival was the clinking of chains against its body, echoing through the fog-drenched ruin.
