Hearing that Val, a person who was suspected to be the child of destiny, was the son of Joshua, Eldric felt angered beyond belief, his hand clenching into a fist. He was clad in a dark scarlet robe, his face hidden behind a mask adorned with a skeletal design, his brown eyes the only part of him revealed. He was so disgusted by the news that he couldn't contain his contempt. His voice was a low growl as he spat out, "Joshua is a disgraceful beast who turned his back on us and betrayed me, his own friend, to curry favor with the Queen. Would his son be any better?"
His words were laced with deep-seated resentment. He and Joshua were once comrades, brothers in arms, but Joshua sold him out to the royals who hunted him like a beast for his unique blood. He was forced to live like a rat in the sewers as he was a fugitive that couldn't show his face to the world otherwise he would be hunted down.
