Lucian Renault faintly recalled the summers in which the only known child of Hannibal Horen, Drusilia Helane, did play in the fields of Helena far east when the trees still did grow and the soil was ripe. The short years of a daughter with an insane and long departed father, forgetting of the past as she resided in Haense, tutored and raised by the young Knight. A fleeting memory, it brought a faint smile to his face as he looked out on that Haenseni country, cold and alone- warmed by the memories which brought him comfort. He recalled his daughter Ylva, teaching her to hunt and trap all but bears the wicked north of Morsgrad and the forests of Curon. Wisened by his years raising the girl as but a young adult.
He'd wish he had done better for Drusilia, in a moment of bitter anguish. Perhaps she would have become great, even ruled with her origin as an opposite to the start as a fatherless girl born in a crumbling line. But time moves on, and so must he. There was no point to regret when what was done, was done.
Unknown to the old Horen, were those fields now torn bits of ash and rock, between a vast boiling sea on the land formerly known as Arcas. His memories forever intangible but in fleeting dreams he did long for.
