Forgive my shameless exposition and my shameful acting. I purposefully chose February's absence as the time to begin our saga as something of a guarantee for the story.

Once I discovered what befell the temple and that June had exiled Ivel to the North, I decided to begin our story here.

Now this hunter is here. There will be no more influencing. We watch together as Ivel makes his own decisions. The hunter has proven his worth as a main character. But can he be a hero?
