While that's happening, what's going on the surface during some of these events.
The morning after Aaron landed
A man with short black hair wearing armor with a brown cloak with a symbol of a star on it was walking into a room with a sigh, he remembered what happened last night as he sat down in his chair.
Flashback
The same man was doing some paperwork when a Guardsmen ran in and stopped with a pant, the man doing the paperwork got up and decided to investigate the soldier.
"Soldier, what's going on?" He asked
"Captain Seren, Aaron's has ran out of the village." The soldier said
"What?!" Seren said
"Your son ran him out, saying that he was trying to make him pay a so-called 'tax' for staying in 'his' town." The soldier explained
Seren just growled and then sighed, he then walked past the Soldier after saying this.
"Find him and get him back here, he's still got a spot in the Guard."
He went out the door and walked out, finding his son trying to sneak back home, Seren coughed and his son looked at him.
"Oh, hey dad." He said
"Son, why did you run Aaron out?" Seren asked
"He's a freak and doesn't deserve anything, including money." He said
Seren just growled in anger and glared at his son, which he shrank under.
"You know his father was formerly head of the Guard, he died fighting a dangerous group of bandits off all that time ago. His son's skill has been renowned by the shopkeeps and other villager's for bringing hunts and doing tasks for people. And YOU chased him away." Seren said
"But he burnt something in the orphanage." His son responded
"By accident, they didn't want to risk it again and decided it would be better for him to live on his own. We've talked about you stealing his money from him along with any food he had, you still didn't listen." Seren said
Seren got out a pair of cuffs and put them around his son's hands, his son looking at him in shock.
"Son, you are under arrest for driving out a fellow villager along with multiple counts of theft. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say will be used against you in a court of law." Seren said
His son didn't say anything as he was taken in, Seren just looking at the mountain in the distance.
Flashback end
Seren leaned back in his chair, he looked at a picture. It was him when he was younger nearby a young man with brown hair with a long sword on his back along with a bow and arrow, both wearing training uniforms in their colors. One brown and one blue.
"I'm sorry Captain Atal, i failed your request. But i'll get him back, if it's the last thing i do." Seren said
"Sir, he went up Mt. Ebott." A soldier said after he entered the room
Seren looked at the soldier shocked, he then growled in anger as he slammed his fist on the table.
"Go there and look for him." Seren said
"But sir, anyone who goes up there is missing foreve-"
"I SAID LOOK FOR HIM DAMMIT, HE'S NOT GONNA GO MISSING SO EASILY. THOSE ARE MY ORDERS!" Seren yelled
The soldier nodded while being shocked, he then left. Seren then looked back at the table, he sighed.
"Dammit, Atal. I'll get your boy back, i'm not going to let your request die." Seren said somberly
A few tears fell on the table, he just wiped his eyes and went out to look for him also.
Welp, that's what's going on the Surface.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
