But when he decided to follow the Shadow, a menace hiding and killing their enemies, his traced path derived completely. Bound together by tragedy, the main concern wasn't revenge anymore; they had to escape. Condamned on so many levels, Nolis will only remember his father's words until the very end; "Don't show your back to anyone."
