1. Chapter 1

4 years AFTER, 404 AD:

Our lives have been a sea of tranquility after the incident, at least, physically it is. Mentally, I'm torn apart and hitting myself repeatedly, but what can one do if their loved one sacrificed himself for a greater cause? For the very existence of humanity? Still, every smile brings me flashes of the painful memory of him, Achill. Every heart beat is a shard piercing my skin, a reminder of the heart that was bigger than any other. He was just a regular person like you and me, but was so special at the same time. This is the forgotten legend of a great hero who changed the course of history.
