The orange of the evening fell onto the dark green leaves of the redwood trees and made them appear much more lively.
Under this refreshing glow, Rion was making his way towards his parents' hut.
After the back-and-forth with Marin for about half an hour, he had managed to make Marin agree to Balthar teaching him, which meant he had officially become a sub-squad leader.
But, he had yet to receive a hut for himself.
Even if he had received the hut, he still would have gone to his parents' hut because today he was determined to ask his mother about her family.
From a young age, he had heard that his mother was the victim of Stockholm syndrome, and to be fair, his father was just that good.
His father was strong, good-looking, and was named the hero of Dhaevrak. He was also one of the few who had managed to leave the Red and Black Mountains.
He had killed a dragon, yet he acted like one himself as he had kidnapped his mother, who was a princess of the Leonara kingdom.
