"Safe in the arms of Fury"
10 years have passed since the battle for Kardis had ended.
Orson lay on his back, staring into the night sky. It had only been three years since Shiris had died of a mysterious illness and now Lodoss had never seemed so lonely. He sighed, thinking about Parn and his friends. He pulled a small pipe from his bag, raising a small stone with a rune carved on it, a flame ignited. Closing his eyes, Orson took a long hard drag, all of these fond things moving through his head had made him see how alone he was.. Coughing as he exhaled, he tried to wait for the sleeping herb's strength to overcome him. Soon, he could feel nothing but the calm warm flow of the few tears that would rise and fall from his eyes. He curled up, closing himself in a ball, trying to hide himself from the world. Quietly, he fell fast asleep.
//dream// Orson is walking down the courtyard of a white castle. He feels alone looking around to see no one in sight. He can hear birds in the distance, singing, to announce the new morning that had begun. Just like every other lonely and miserable morning, he could feel his heart ache grow. Walking towards a nearby garden, he hears someone behind him, and turns to see who it is. There is a silhouette of a tall knight and then suddenly he vanishes. //end dream//
