Chapter 176: The Truth Under The Lie

 "Ha! Happy now?" Kjorr exclaimed as he walked out into the simple and neat sitting room of Hemarc's abode. 

 "Yes. You are better." 

Everyone was seated, including Rogath, everyone except Niel and Dreu who had wandered off together. 

Kjorr sat down and folded his arms, "First let me ask... why did you come here?" He spoke with a serious demeanor. 

 "You know it too... the red gem," I responded to him. And as he heard my response he buried his face into his palm and said a few seconds after, "I had hoped it won't come to this..." 

 "Father left a message for me... he said it's in my bloodstream and that I should come to you. I think it is time you tell me everything. What is the deal with the red gem and bloodstone? Why does it look like father is regarded as a savior on this path but back in Binneniel he is regarded to be a criminal and is dreaded, people say he sacrificed thousands of lives to make the bloodstone."
