Four long years.
It had been four years since the man had stepped foot into his homeland of Serendipity, but it had been four years since he had really stepped foot into the outside world.
It was a long journey from the Niahi to the colorful nation of mages, but they made it. Art Tur, a forsaken man long forgotten, and his new companion, Hana, the kitsune his alter egos met during their time away. He did not know too much about this woman, but he knew that she helped Lowen during his time of need, and that was enough.
Still, not knowing her, not
really, he felt compelled to tell her about the events that inevietably led Lowen to her path. He told her everything. The party, the demonic possession, the murdering of his beloved wife Alys, the resistance, the struggle, when and why he ran away, and the birth of Lowen. The birth of a new personality that would let Art sit in the darkness alone, away from the heartbreak and torture of his reality. That, and Lowen's own developed alter-ego, Ipsen, who was merely the darker portion of Art's own mind - coming out in full-force anytime the world was too much for Lowen to bare.
They spent countless days, and countless hours on their travel, and he often wondered why Hana agreed to take him all the way back to Serendpity. But he was grateful, despite the grim in his heart as they neared.
And at long last, they had arrived.
Staring on the outskirts of the Northern mountains, Art turned his new companion with a weary, tired smile.
"We're finally here."
