A tale of a young boy, who learns of his mistakes and his future. A question about ability and relationships.  The division of a faction - the creation of new conflict among the citizens of the people of Ulgard. Ern, a destitute young man of 18, lives with his mother in peace, which cracks under the craze of the people for a war. Having lived already 18 years with his mother, Ern faces the decision to either enlist on one side, or declare neutrality and risk escaping from the political tension of the young empire.  ----------------------- Please leave your thoughts on the chapter in the comments, it does motivate me! ;)
