Darius stood before the familiar homestead where he had spent his first two weeks in Faust with nostalgia. The entire place was mostly unchanged, with very little difference compared to 5 years ago as if the crisis that had struck Andrato was but a myth.
Darius sighed as he walked into the homestead with Gunner following behind him silently. Just like the first time he had come here, the adults were out working the fields while the kids and elderly stayed within their homes.
This time, when they saw the familiar faces of Darius and Gunner, their eyes lit up as they rushed out to greet them. Many of the children ran up to Gunner and tried to climb him, making the large lad smile as he placed the braver ones easily on his shoulders.
