"LOST IN THE WILDER WOODS" 23 (Patreon)

23 - RUST

Later that night, Elwin invited Barther to his private tent,

where their connection deepened. As dawn broke, Elwin

gifted Barther the ancient sword Ironlight, covered in RUST

and untouchable by the Fae. Only a human like Barther

could wield it, and only he could vanquish the Evil One.

"This is thy destiny,

Barther, the reason I have

guided thee through these lands.

Ironlight shall be thy sword and

steadfast companion, forged for

this very hour. With it, thou

shalt face the Evil One and

restore the balance

that was lost."
