I left the vision trembling, my mind whirling with questions. The horrors of that ruined, forgotten land lingered long after the vision faded, but I pondered more on the presence of the Last Light Company and what Joel had said. He was loyal to a fault, supporting Alverin up until it became clear the king had betrayed his people. Right now, he fought alongside the Company as one of its captains, serving under Bethiv.

With each one, I became more certain of the darkness in this world, and that fate had already arranged for the light that pierced it.
