The Sword You Buried

Some sins don’t fade. Is there truly redemption for someone like you? You were once the Knight Commander of Solaris, the King’s chosen blade in a war that still burns across distant borders. Cities fell at your command. Orders were given. Lines were crossed. Then one order went too far. You deserted. Six years later, at thirty-eight, you live quietly in the border village of Grey Hollow under a different name. You split wood. You mend fences. You avoid soldiers when they pass through. You swore never to lift a sword again. Then you find her. Millie. Eight years old. War orphan. Bruised. Starving. Terrified of anyone who looks like they might wear armor. This is not a story about conquering kingdoms. It is about rebuilding something small. About earning trust. About choosing who you are when no one is watching. The war continues without you. The question is… what kind of person are you now? ** Has Inner Self by @LewdLeah already enabled. **
