Life had never been easy for Reece.
Born in a family that hated him and a brother that was responsible for his misery. The only light he ever saw was his master, who took a beggar like him out of misery and gave him a chance of a lifetime.
A chance to become more than just a beggar and a refuse. A target of envy as well as worship.
Alfin was like a father he never had, a protector and teacher that gave him power as well as direction to make something out of his life.
An opportunity that people would kill each other to obtain.
Which was why, he grieved immensely after learning of the mental state of his teacher and the things he did. Even though he can't understand what his teacher would be feeling to do something so heinous while out of control. But he can understand how much it would have pained him.
So much so, that one might lose themselves even more and become someone completely different.
