Capítulo 100: 100-Fateful Encounter

Aturs, Year of Severus, 15, I.R., the 32nd day of Fall, Arenfall

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Arterius stood eagerly at the long table inside Lord Prestonheim's tent. The dim lighting from the torches made it hard for him to focus his thoughts. The flickering light of the flames made him more anxious than ever, as he tried to think of what to say to this freed slave his godfather was about to introduce to him.

He was excited to see a freed slave. It was the first time he'll ever get to see one. Prince Arterius' fascination with freed individuals stemmed from the stories he read about those slaves who rose to become outstanding members of society and some as heroes.

He always loved how the stories portrayed them overcoming their hardships and near-death experiences through sheer determination and will. To him, it was an inspiration that got him going despite his own hardships.
