Alaric returned to a world that had gone through significant changes during his absence. The familiar faces he had known were no longer there, and the world itself had transformed into a realm of fantasies and mysteries, vastly different from the one he had left behind.
While Alaric mourned the loss of his friends and family, he found solace in the intrigue and fascination offered by this new world. His own extraordinary powers had made him somewhat detached, and the opportunity to experience life as a mortal resident intrigued him. He decided to immerse himself fully in this realm, adopting the guise of one of its native inhabitants.
As an ordinary mortal, Alaric embarked on a captivating journey of exploration. He reveled in the myriad wonders of this fantastical world, encountering mythical creatures, enchanted landscapes, and arcane secrets. The new challenges he faced forced him to rely on his intellect, adaptability, and the skills he had honed throughout his extraordinary experiences.
Alaric's perspective shifted, as he gained a deeper appreciation for the fleeting nature of mortal life. He formed new connections and friendships, cherishing the moments shared with fellow adventurers and the inhabitants of this extraordinary realm. Though he carried the weight of his past experiences, he embraced the opportunity to live fully in the present, savoring every encounter and discovery.
After years of travel he found love and through it he sought to create a family, alas his wife could not handle his overwhelming power and perished, his only solace was that he managed to save his son.

So, unable to save the love of his life, leaving him devastated, he found solace and purpose in his son, Ulric, who inherited his overwhelming power.
As Ulric grew, he became increasingly arrogant and tyrannical, using his immense power to dominate and trample over everything in his path. Alaric, torn between his love for his son and the destruction he caused, made the difficult decision to seal him away in a place where he could no longer access the world.
Years passed, and the power of Ulric continued to grow in his confinement. The world began to feel his invasive and malevolent presence, as shadows loomed over the land. Despite the impending threat, Alaric could not bring himself to slay his only son, burdened by grief and the love he still held for him.
Weary of the ways of the world and consumed by his mourning for his wife, Alaric chose to distance himself from society. Seeking solitude and peace, he disappeared to a remote and hidden location, where he could rest and find respite from the turmoil that plagued him.
In this secluded sanctuary, Alaric hoped to find solace and a sense of peaceful bliss. He withdrew from the world, seeking to heal his wounded heart and find a semblance of tranquility in the midst of his sorrow. It was a self-imposed exile, allowing him to reflect on the choices he had made and to come to terms with the consequences of his actions.
As Alaric retreated from the world, the people left behind felt the encroaching darkness and the growing threat of his son's power. They struggled to find a way to combat the malevolence that loomed over them, hoping that one day Alaric would return and help them face the impending danger.
And so, Alaric, burdened by guilt, grief, and the weight of his past, sought sanctuary in a place of peaceful seclusion. The world continued to suffer under the shadow of his son's influence, awaiting the day when Alaric would reemerge and face the ultimate choice—whether to save his son or protect the world from his destructive power.
