A Life After The Battle Of Edward Daein

Life in Daein after the battle against Ashera had been tough. The people of Telius had come to accept that Ashera was their Goddess and all good things happened through her, for her to be cut down was unthinkable. What they didn't know was that they had been turned to stone with no recollection of the event beyond a vague and fuzzy awakening. Life for the nation leaders hadn't been easy since the change, between rebellions, church uprisings, and internal struggle there was nary a moment of rest, though thankfully it did end the beorc-laguz war. Many of the warriors that fought in that war struggled to fall back into their old lives, some were happy while others were less content to live in a world of peace.

He wondered if everyone at the palace was ok and quickly made his way over, avoiding creatures anytime he was able. Alone and on a mission he made quick progress and upon arriving was dismayed to see the castle had sustained some damage already and guards missing at the front gates.
