While falling from the tower, his face disfigured by acid, Keren was caught by an angel of death (WingedSkywire) who carried him far until they reached the land of Deltora. There the angel rested and Keren took his chance to escape. Over the journey his wounds had healed yet the scars of his defeat and suffering remained. He decided to seize the opportunity this new place brought and with his swordsmanship and natural leadership he would rule this land.
