Caden grew up in a peaceful village with his family, who were farmers. He was known for his gentle heart and love for nature, always helping his parents in the fields and caring for the animals. His younger sister, Lila, was his closest companion, and they often dreamed of traveling the world together, leaving behind the quiet village life for grand adventures.
However, when Caden was around 14 years old, a war broke out between rival kingdoms, and their village was caught in the crossfire. One night, soldiers from a neighboring army raided their village, burning homes and destroying everything in their path. Caden and his family tried to flee, but in the chaos, they were separated. Caden watched helplessly as his sister was taken by the soldiers while he was knocked unconscious in the escape attempt.
When Caden woke up, his village had been reduced to ashes, and his family was nowhere to be found. He searched for them for days, but only found remnants of the destruction. Consumed with guilt over his inability to protect his family, especially Lila, Caden wandered aimlessly, burdened by the memory of his lost home.
In the years that followed, he searched relentlessly for his sister, becoming hardened and distant from others. Every lead on her whereabouts led to dead ends, and he began to believe she had perished or been sold into slavery. The weight of his failure pushed him to isolate himself, traveling from place to place, haunted by the loss of his family and the dreams they once shared.
Though he tried to rebuild his life, the sadness of losing everything he loved never left him, turning him into a wandering soul, endlessly searching for something to fill the void in his heart, will the darkness in her heart consume him?...
