Part 4: The Truth Another silence ensued for a little while after the group left Lori and Radomir’s home. Kelli eventually heaved a sigh as the trio exited the village and approached their steeds as well, prompting Judo to wonder if something was weighing on her mind again. He wasn’t sure whether to ask this time, however, due to Ryo’s presence. It could’ve very well been something Kelli wanted to keep between her and Judo. Though as if to read her husband’s mind, Kelli soon spoke up and broke the silence anyway. “Judo,” she said. “I should tell you something.” “What’s wrong?” Judo wondered. “Well, due to all this… I don’t think I’m going to want to… You know,” she said. “For some time. I’m sorry… I feel ashamed.” “Oh. Don’t worry. I honestly don’t think I’ll want to for a good while either,” Judo admitted. “Don’t put yourself down. Someone else caused this, not you.” “True.” “Can’t say I’m surprised,” Ryo put in. “But I am surprised that you’re bringing that up in front of me.

C Conversation Skye: …Wow, we tied again! We really are evenly matched in these competitions, Jeorge. Jeorge: Indeed. I must say, I never did think I would meet an archer who rivals my skill the way you do. Even if there are many heroes here in Askr that also use a bow. Skye: Huh. I never thought about being the best. Just being as good as I possibly can be so I can be the most reliable ally Bryan could ask for. I will always have his back. Jeorge: It is good to have someone to be so close to, yes. Let’s train together again some time. Skye: Sure! See you later. Fjorm: …Oh, dear. Are you both done already, Skye? Skye: Oh, Princess Fjorm. Yeah, we are. Why? Did you want to join? Though I’ve never seen you use a bow… Fjorm: I did have some interest. My brother and I have some training in archery. We practiced with bows when we were younger. Skye: I see. Interesting. I would have never guessed. Fjorm: But I have to admit, you and Jeorge

“Whoa! Mother, where are we going all of a sudden?” ten-year-old Nancy wondered as Lady Azura of the Elhorhi earldom pulled her inside their castle. Situated in the kingdom of Talgria, the Elhorhi Castle, as well as the Elhorhi Town below it, was a grand site to behold with its smooth silvery white stone and light blue and gold décor. The town’s architecture was unique compared to the rest of Talgria as well, incorporating historical characteristics that dated before a lot of what was currently found in the kingdom. “Just over here,” Azura replied as her long dark red hair swished behind her. “As much as I miss your father when he’s away, I needed him to leave this time.” “Huh? Why?” “Well, so we could talk about some plans for his birthday!” “Oh! That’s right, Father’s birthday is coming up in a few days!” Nancy remembered jumping a little, her reddish orange hair bouncing behind her. “Yep. And this year, I want to plan something extra special for him,”

Bond of Steel One was broken One was alone And together they find Their hearts shall heal Three years. That was how long it had been since the last time a little boy had bid his father farewell as he left for work. It was the last time a family of three would share a meal. The last time they’d see the father prepare his wagon. The last time they ever saw the third member of their family. Radomir had departed for his usual rounds as a merchant between the kingdoms of Hyrule and Mayia. And he did not return home. No matter how long his wife and son had waited, it was like he vanished into thin air. The hours turned into days, and then weeks…and then months, with no trace of him to be found. Three years eventually passed, and yet the agony of knowing nothing of the beloved husband and father’s whereabouts was gripping harder still, like being shackled to a wall with chains and the key destroyed. The little boy, once joyful, energetic, and curious about the world, was now seemingly
