introduction: allen doesn''''t feel anything. not because he''''s cold — but because everything was taken from him before he learned what feelings were. chosen as a hero, used as a tool, and left hollow. the only constant in his life is sep — a small glowing butterfly who talks too much and cares too deeply and refuses to leave his side. now they walk. seven kingdoms. a journey that was supposed to be about duty. it isn''''t. it''''s about a boy who was an empty shell for so long he forgot there was ever anything inside — and a road long enough to find it again. cover art by [Afe̤ra XV]. used with permission.
