White light flashed before the wanderer's eyes, as it had many times on their journey. The sky cracking and the waves pressing up against 'The Trinity', sending the ship cradling back and forth.
"Land ahead!" a soldier shouted, squinting into the stormy haze.
A new home.
After anchoring the ship along the beach, the wanderer's trudged out.
They were scared, vulnerable, their empire had come to ruin, and now they were on their own in this strange new world.
They were lost.
They were full of hatred for their enemies, the countless nations that had pinned themselves against their homeland, and eventually destroying it.
But in due time their hate became productivity, and their spite became power.
They had a whole village now. A tavern, a chapel, and a large fortress.
"I believe it be complete, Lieutenant Athius." Xanvar declared, proudly smiling at the young boy and the fortress before him. "However, I must venture out now, as I have much work to be done."
Theon smirked back at Xanvar, "Thank you, Xanvar, for everything that you have done, it means a lot to all of us. My father will be happy to see what we've become here. Farewell!"
"Theon, 'ey!" Silvanus hollered, rushing over to the lieutenant.
"Yes, Silvanus? What is it?"
"A ship has arrived in town.. They're men of another company... They're survivors!"
Theon's face lit up, more men of Insani, could it even be his father?
As Theon paced down the street, soldiers being escorted by the town guard and other commoners passed by.
"Well if it isn't an Athius!" A tall, strong built man in the kingdom's attire approached Theon.
"Hello! I remember you... Commander Maddox, isn't it? From Lamplight?" Theon asked.
"Indeed it is, and a grave endin' that was." Maddox replied.
"Indeed, but, I'm glad that you were able to make it out. But do you have any word on my father?"
"Your father?... You mean you don't know?..."
"What do you mean..." Theon stuttered, freezing in place.
"Your father was killed at Lamplight.. I heard about his death after escaping under his orders.. I- I thought you had known... Your brother, Torren, was slain too... As well as Lady Rose and Lord Denaren... You and your cousin are the last Athius' left."
Theon was stunned, full of shock and bitter sadness.
"Theres no way... I thought Erloven Castle could hold for months... I thought there was a plan...?" Theon questioned
Maddox frowned, "I'm sorry lad, I'm afraid the plan didn't go as well as I'm sure you father hoped. You know what this means right?..."
Theon looked at Maddox puzzled before realizing.
Theon Athius, last remaining heir of Ronaen Athius, was now the King of Insani.
