Hero of Darkness

forced to betray his master due to the circumstances back then it didnt change the fact that he had broken the trust Throk had in him.

After this I will quit blacksmithing and leave Nidavellir.

These hands of mine do not deserve to hold a hammer again.
My feet do not deserve to walk into a forge again.
This part of my life is over.
said Helsi and got up on his feet.

Farewell master.
Thank you for everything for me even though I have only let you down.
he said and wiped off his tears.

Even Kahn could see the conflict in his eyes.

Grown men did not cry until they could no longer bear the suffering.
This was something Kahn also experienced in his previous life on the day when he committed suicide.
He had been completely broken down because of his miserable circumstances.

[At least try to talk it out with him.] said Kahn to Throk.

[What do you mean? You want me to mend differences with this traitor?! You think Im a forgiving person, boy?] retorted the old dwarf.

[This is not my place to speak.
But youre no saint either, old man.

Remember the first day we met] Kahn rebuked and continued with a somber expression.

[Although I have a habit of repaying kindness ten times and enmity hundredfolds sometimes circumstances force you to do things that go against your morality and creed.] he spoke to Throk.

[Also, you too shouldve swallowed that insult by Rogis and thought about the people who work for you.

You also forced him to make that choice.
You said he was your most prized pupil but you did not think of the consequences before you burst out in rage.] he reminded the old blacksmith.

Throk was a person with anger issues and a loud mouth back when Kahn met him.

[Its not like hes entirely guilty but he isnt innocent either.

But Helsi was never part of the plot set by Tawerik and the Dwarven Council and still adhered to the rules of smiting and teachings you taught him.
Throughout the duel, he only wanted to win with his own skills and talent.
I never sensed any hostility or malicious intent from him either.

He too was a victim just like you back then.
Think of this whole development as him being lost for a while.] iterated Kahn.

Alright, I will leave you two alone.
Talk it out or kill each other, thats up to you both.

Kahn then walked out of the room and closed the door.
Some people deserved a second chance unlike many but forcing his own opinion on Throk wasnt a good thing either.

Whatever happened from here Whether Helsi gets his chance at retribution or not would be decided by the duo of former master and pupil.

YAWN!

Kahn yawned and decided to leave the colosseum.

Just then a mysterious red hooded figure appeared in front of him along with a group of people.

Kahn was quickly taken aback because the group of people included Venessa, Hector and the Heros Party.

Kahn Salvatore, you have been summoned.
spoke this hooded figure as he revealed his face.

An old and bald fireborne revealed his face.

[Careful boy.
Hes a 5th stage saint.] warned Rathnaar.

By whom? asked Kahn as he spoke in a scared and bewildered voice to maintain his appearance of a weak human.

To his question, this old fireborne replied in an authoritative voice

The Emperor.
