It was the darkest of nights because the sky was threatening to tear up once again. Frequent rain falls, hazy days and dead silence was common in the kingdom these days. Thick fog was covering all parts of the forests and the moon was hidden behind the depths of heavy clouds. Shivering with cold and fear, every being was hidden in their safe places except him who was unfazed by everything around him.

He stopped by Oriskany's cottage and knocked on the door a few times. After a few moments, the door creaked open slowly, revealing a set of peculiar eyes which stared in his soul.
