Did Mc's parents ever try to look for them after they were kidnapped?
I don't want to get too deep into what happened since it would spoil a lot of chapter 6 and 7. But, yes! They did try to find their children when they were stolen. I should mention that the MC's birth Parents, Abeshai and Lillemor didn't just lose the MC that night. But the twins, Soren and Gralon (names subject to change - Poll incoming). Both of whom were 16 years old at the time. (The MC was around four/five at the time.)
Near the end of the Prologue, the MC has a chance to decide the singular memory that they remember of their past. That being:
(Nothing) The day they met the apprentice. The crone. Everything else is a blur.
(Fear) Running through a burnt forest as they are hunted by a howling monster.
(Comfort) A soft voice whispering in their ear, a hand covering their eyes.
(Blood) A pair of boys, young and vicious. Fighting a never-ending sea of shade and rot.
(Daggers) A man, grizzled and bleeding screams a name. Taken by the ghosts that control him.
(Singer) A woman with burning eyes, laughing through the pain as music fills the air.
