Kael's True Identity (Ethan Learns Who He's Stuck With)
After escaping the cursed cult (something Ethan refused to ever talk about again), he and Kael walked through the dimly lit streets of the village.
Ethan, still traumatized, sighed. "You know, I've faced some real monsters in my time… but that? That was different. That was… evil."
Kael remained silent.
Ethan glanced at him. "You're not even gonna ask what happened?"
Kael exhaled. "I do not wish to know."
Ethan snorted. "Smart man."
As they continued walking, Ethan realized something.
Kael wasn't just some random guy.
From the way people moved out of his path, the way villagers bowed slightly when he passed, and the way his presence carried silent authority—this guy wasn't ordinary.
"So," Ethan started, hands behind his head. "You gonna tell me who you really are, or do I have to guess?"
Kael didn't look at him. "I am a warrior of Solmara."
