ANDEN
CHASING THE SUN
Even Bastien felt lonely at times. For a moment Anden thought the heart ache that would bring him. Feeling on the outs of the people of the Grounds. Feeling left out from the stories, and the relationships that blossomed here. But then it was gone. Replaced with the glimmer of hope that, even the ascended still have their humanity. They weren't just monsters. Deep down they still had the same wants, and needs. Anden was still Anden - just upgraded. A world united. It seemed even war, and discrimination knew no bounds. Traveling between worlds. Caido was just as broken as his own world. "Thank you Bastien." He nodded his head slightly at the artist. "For giving me hope." Because even in the darkest of days, or the darkest of nights, it was hope that could drown it all out.
The world was larger than he had expected - and the fact that there was even more than they had yet to explore, had yet to understand brought an odd smile to Anden's face. For years he only had the trees behind their inn to explore, but now he had a world filled to the brim with mystery to discover. "One day, I'll see it all." A claim he made to himself. A vow to leave the Grounds, and really live.
"What's next then, for you?" Anden focused on Bastien once more. "After this, what's your next step."
