An Interlude.

Somewhere in The Far Reaches.

The banishment was everything that Adric had feared. And more. The harsh woodlands of The Far Reaches were unforgiving and unkind. The wind there battered him. The creatures of the darkness stalked him in the night, waiting for him to show any sign of weakness so they might attack and rip him limb from limb The land was harsh and nearly barren; barely anything edible grew. He resorted to eating the carcasses of whatever dead animals he could find. He was scarred. Bloodied. Bruised.

And that was just the way he needed it, just the way he liked it. This exile was all part of the prophecy, all part of the journey that would deliver him home as the savior of Velkin. See, it wasn’t just literal darkness wrapping around him out here in The Far Reaches. It was magical darkness, feeding on his soul and devouring his insides, replacing all that was once good and kind and generous of spirit with an evil wickedness, a strength that only the darkness could bring him.

Soon, he would be in his full power.

As he stared into the firelight projection of his brother and the little human, though, the prospect was bittersweet. So far, everything was going according to plan. The seeds of discord had been sown between the humans and the magic folk. He’d been sent into deep exile in the place with the highest concentration of dark magic. Anatole believed that there was a plot by the humans to destroy his kingdom. And soon, the exiled members of The Honored Guard would make there way out here to his side.

But this human and his brother’s apparent softness for her...that was an unexpected wrinkle, one that certainly agitated Adric’s perfect plan.

No matter. He would just have to send a little magic to separate the two of them. The two of them together could destroy everything, but it wasn’t anything a little darkness couldn’t kill.

After all, one day soon, Adric would ride back to glory on the backs of dead humans and a scorched Earth. One day, he would rule all of Velkin with an iron fist, liberating them from the tyranny of this family and the presence of the humans.

And nothing would stand in his way. Not his brother. Not his parents. Not some pathetic little human girl who fancied herself in love with Anatole.

Nothing. He’d kill them all if he had to.
