A Promise Kept

By Jak Angelescu

A hero for one can be a hero for all. Derjaun Vin Gruinelle is a young farmer boy destined to walk in his father's footsteps as captain of their village. Yet one night, his family is struck by tragedy when a hoard of mysterious, winged beasts attack the village and nearly destroy everything he calls home. Left with nothing, he finds comfort in the friendship of a blind girl named Halo Laankel, and the two become inseparable as they bond on the horrible facts of life and how they are treated as the sick and the disabled. Yet there is something perplexing about her. In a society where women and girls are not allowed to serve in the Guardians, she confesses to him that it is one thing that would make her heart truly happy. The two share endless days as friends until Halo finds that Derjaun vanishes without a trace. He is simply gone. Halo gambles everything she has to join the Guardians in Derjaun's place with the hope of finding her lost friend and bringing him home. Will she ever make it? And where did those beasts come from to begin with? Haalo Laankel, blind farm girl of Nakhan, braves a perilous life to find the answers and to uphold a promise kept, that her lost friend will be found.
