Alin had been on the run for a long time. He hadn’t had much of a choice after all, it was either run and never stop running, or lay down and let the man he’d once called best friend chain him up and use him for his own ends. And it hurt, to remember why he was always traveling, why he never dared stay in one place for more than a week, never dared to settle or get close to anyone. He didn’t like to think about it, about the day he’d been stupid enough (hopeful enough, trusting enough) to tell Marcel that he was a natural born mage.
