Aston let out a deep sigh. A great frown on his face as he fiddled with the white rope tied around his arms. Hazel eyes twinkled with a nostalgic gleam; that was a long time ago. His mind drifted back to the events of just a few days ago, hard to believe that things were so different now, from when he had originally wrapped this rope around his arms: just a few short minutes two days ago flipped his whole life upside down.


"You can't just leave!" Aston, the Knight of Greed, yelled as Rage walked away from the tower they called home. "What about Oblivion? Are you going to let the poeple die?"
"The people..." Rage began and turned around, giving Aston a cold look, "They've brainwashed you all. Have you ever seen Oblivion? I have not and if such a beast is to exist then I must acquire greater power!"
"You HAVE power! You have all the strength you need, Rage." Aston plead not willing to lose a member of the Knights of Sin.
Rage gave him a cold stare and looked at the castle walls and turned away, disgusted. "From this day on, we are no longer allies, Aston." he said and walked away from his home and from his duty. Aston did not even try to stop him after that. Maybe he had given up hope? Or maybe it was better to let Rage go instead of forcing him to comply and help a town he despised.


“Dammit Rage, if you knew something, why didn’t you just tell us?” He slammed his palm against the table top in front of him. The Knight of Greed bit his lip.

“Have you ever seen Oblivion?”

What did his comrade—ex-comrade—mean by those words? Eyes turned upwards in thought of the sentiment, but he quickly let out a sigh, not seeing an answer. Aston sat in the library now, flipping through tome after tome. Oblivion… Rage’s words had struck a cord within the knight, he had been ‘fighting’ against this beast for so long, but he still did not know exactly what it was. These books inside of the castle he and the others resided in, there must have been some sort of answer within them.

“I wonder how the others are taking this development?”
