>He awakens in the medical ward of the church of [Mytheria](Mytheria.md) and moving his hand to the pain atop his head he finds a massive gash that is mostly healed running across it. Trying to recall how he got here or where he is, he realizes he doesn't even know his own name nor anything of his past. One of the nurses explains to him that he was found and saved by one of [The Shield of Mytheria](The%20Shield%20of%20Mytheria.md) who brought him here to complete his recovery. While recovering he begins to learn and study the word of [Mytheria](Mytheria.md) and decides to dedicate his life to Her as repayment for saving his life and blessing him with her light. After many months, he was readied for service.

>>✧ Future - The Silent Hag - it reps bloodpacts, discords, and secrets locked deep inside. Something likely picked up from the acts, and the secret would bring ruin to him and others. A unsavory predictament.
