What the hell is wrong with me? I should never have left the happy group like this. Then again, Dryn gets a new haircut, Bryn and Conrob return from their getaway, Raven and Ithy are getting married, and all I can think about is how the father who left me to rot in jail as a young boy is known to those he meets as a hero.
I should have known and recognized that old bastard. Leaving me in front of the jail like that, and I still remember those last words he told me. He said I belonged in jail and was a little shit. What did I ever do to him?! I don't even remember! The woman Brynleigh was working for said her husband left her and her son, and I just had something go off in me to drive me away from those who I call my friends.
That man in the armor IS my father now that I got a better look. He said my name with so much venom, I swore he wanted to kill me. I've got to get him away from town somehow before he uses any of my friends against me. That self-serving son of a bitch of course gets praised by those he meets, and I still am working to make my way into the world.
I can't let him near the others... who knows what he might do.
