Look - It wasn't supposed to go like this, alright?
Humans were trouble.
Life as a Relict has beaten that lesson into Sebastian often enough. A specialized exorcist-for-hire, he knew the rumors all too well. Folks might whisper that his kind are as heartless as the horrors they hunted, but that doesn't make it true.
Would've saved him a whole heap of hurts if it did.
Risking his life fighting monstrous creatures and dispelling terrible curses; only to face fear and suspicion from the very people he's assigned to protect? It's not a life anyone would want. Not that Sebastian's father gave him a choice, selling his son to the Church of the Arc to save his own sorry skin.
But now Sebastian's all grown up and making his own mistakes. Like the one that got him injured, forced to rely on some stranger for help to make it back behind the wards of his Order's abbey before Mistide comes.
Saddled with an utter scoundrel of a bard as a guide, Sebastian's itching to ditch his new travel companion the first chance he gets. Too chatty, too damn pretty, and with absolutely no concept of personal space? The man calling himself Ryndalon is a walking pile of trouble-with-a-capital-T through and through.
But it turns out this isn't even the first time the flighty human's gone and made Sebastian's life hell. Or that it's the end of Ryndalon's secrets...
