Role

Chapter 6

Hierarchies gives a person a chance to really come to know the words
"Know your place." From an early-afternoon winter day, a smile of a
father and mother, and the birth of a new child, his place had already
been chosen. Like father and his father before serving was what the heir
to the "En'haulas" family legacy does. The En'haulas family are true
servants of Cragstone. From one generation to the next the family has
stayed at the feet of each new king, never faltering, being the best
footstools they could be. Servants are just what the name implies, never
meant to be any more. It doesn't matter if someone is the most respected
footstool in the castle if they and their children and children's, children will
never be any more than a footstool. Life has been in this manor for many
years, and will continue long into the future, that is the plain and simple
truth. So when a young man who, happens to be a footstool, falls for a
beauty who just happens to be royalty and they are discovered in the
same bed, not much good comes from the result. Maybe, just maybe they
would have been truly happy, maybe they would have been able to live
wonderful lives together, maybe the woman would be killed by some
foolish invocations that created giant boulders aimed at the young man...
and maybe the young footstool would do his best to fight for her honor
being horribly wounded in the process. Life is a strange thing indeed,
how fate plays a role in everyones lives. It turned one of the most
respected footstools of the Royal house of Cragstone into an outcast who
will forever resent the words of some foolish man who took the life of his
love. This foolish man now called Behrious, outcast of the En'haulas
family, moved to a surface dweller city on his own path, one to bring pride
back to his name and maybe some love to his heart.
