Summary
Ajax always dreamt of picking up a sword and fighting mystical creatures like the heroes in his story books. The bright saturated colours of the art in the books made even the frightening tales seem like an afternoon breeze of joyous fun. He purposely volunteered to go on the freezing fishing trips with his dad just to hear the stories of real life adventurers. Just shy of fifteen his left home for the adventure he craved. But the world was cruel and falling into the abyss shattered his soul. Twisted his childish dreams into a self devouring hunger. An unsatiable hunger to dance on the precipice of life and death. To taste blood in his mouth and ache till his muscles moved no more. A painful smile always wide on his lips.
A prince named Aether, diseased from the lands as his life waned held out a hand and offered power in exchange for undying loyalty. He looked so weak and helpless that Ajax felt something stir within him. Aether was glowing like a beacon of salvation even when surrounded by darkness with a softness that only the princesses had in his story books. For the first time Ajax didn't mind if he became a villain if he could tie himself to this ethereal being forever.
