Stephen had recently been the victim of a military ambush, attacked by an armada of soldiers belonging to the Rurian kingdom.
He had only left Rumgrave for a few days when he had been ambushed, which came as a surprise to Stephen as he had not heard anything about the military moving.
He was a pretty wanted man in the Rurian kingdom for killing and pillaging many of its coastal cities, so he understood why they wanted to kill him.
The armada came with a lot of ships, which opened fire on his ship and his crews.
Without hesitation, Stephen rode away as fast as he could. The others had followed him for almost an entire day before darkness took over them as fogs roiled from all sides onto their ships.
It was no regular fog.
A monster began attacking both Stephen and every other ship that was following him.
