Episode 5: Gone from My Sight, But Never from My
Heart
Aleric is still downhearted about loosing Nyx. Kibo tries to
comfort him and the two decide to travel back to their
camp. But before they can reach their home, they are
caught by Gundred who offers them to the church to claim
her reward. Saying their sorrowful goodbyes, Aleric is taken
to the capital to await punishment and Kibo is taken back
to the church to return on death row. With Aleric now in
prison, he weeps not only loosing Nyx but now his most
trusted friend. Before long a guard opens his cell door and
Aleric is greeted by his father who offers to take him for a
walk and offer him a second chance. Whilst walking
through the Capitals palace garden’s and guards watching
closely in the distance, Aleric father shows him a statue of a
woman which turns out to be Aleric’s mother. His father
explains that she was an oracle who helped to rid Fedea
from a swarm of demons and helped to keep the people of
Fedea in high spirits before she was ambushed and killed.
Aleric’s father explains that ‘if the Gods are anything like
your mother, there is still hope for forgiveness.’ Aleric
exclaims that he has nothing to forgive.’ Filled with spite
and sorrow he pushes his father away accidentally using his
magic which severely harms him. The guards suddenly
emerge from their hiding places and take him away.
