While the newly knighted young man, Godferik var Ruthern, the adopted son of the O'Rourkes, read the contents of his letter, tears ran down his cheek and his vision blurred with tears, agony and anger.
The man fell to his knees with a thud and curled down to a ball on the ground. Not a moment later, he let out the loudest scream he had ever before.
"WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?"
Droplets of tears fell to the wooden floor below him. His fingers dug into his face, trying to tear it off. The young man screamed, even when it hurt, until there was no sound left.
The woman who had filled the whole his biological mother had left... GONE, only leaving a larger one instead. The warm, comforting touch of a mother never to be felt again.
