Why did he return… after all this time
Don't come any closer. It's already too late. His voice shook, but his eyes were cold. If you cross this line, I won't hesitate. I chose the darkness, and there's no turning back. I clenched my fists. Then I'll walk into that darkness myself. I'm not here to save the world. I'm here to save you. He looked away. After everything I've done, why? because you're my brother, and no matter how far you fall, I'll never let go of you.
The beginning years ago, I was nothing more than a young warrior from the Valley of Storms. Reckless, hopeful, always dreaming of becoming strong enough to protect my people. My older brother, Arin, was everything I wanted to be. Brave, respected, always smiling, even when the world felt heavy. He used to tell me, Light isn't something you carry in your hand it's something you carry in your heart.
But one night, a mysterious army attacked our valley. Flames swallowed our homes, screams filled the air, and Arin disappeared. All he left behind was a single note. Don't search for me. I refuse to accept that. From that night on, I swore I would find him, no matter how far I had to go.
I crossed deserts, forests, and ruined kingdoms. I fought bandits, assassins, and creatures born from nightmares, but nothing stopped me. Until one day I reached the Iron Citadel, home of the feared Shadow Order, and there, standing among them, was Arin.
But he wasn't the brother I knew. His eyes were colder, his aura darker. Why, I shouted. He answered without emotion. Kindness doesn't protect anyone. Power does. And now, I have more power than anyone.
I stepped forward. Power that destroys the people you love isn't power. It's a prison. Come home before this becomes a battle. He raised his blade. I won't return, not unless you fall.
I shook my head. I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to fight the darkness that stole you. His voice cracked. I'm not the man you remember, I whispered. Your heart is still beating, and I can hear it. Even through all this darkness...
His hands trembled. I... I'm afraid. I place my hand on his shoulder. Then let me walk with you.
No one is born evil. Some just lose their way. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. Will you forgive me?
I smiled. You were forgiven the moment you chose to come back.
The ending, Arin returned to the valley. People feared him at first, whispered behind his back, avoided him, but he didn't run.
He rebuilt homes, protected travelers, trained the young warriors, and when a new threat rose, we fought side by side.
The Shadow Order collapsed, peace returned, children laughed again, and every sunrise I whispered to myself, This isn't the end it's the beginning of a new story.
