Author's Note + Fanart

=====================================
Just as he fought his way out of his own mind, he was abandoned by all he ever knew and cared for. Alone, afraid, and brokenhearted, he cowered in the ruins of a place that was once grand and beautiful, now destroyed by his shadow. He was lost, with nowhere to return to. All hope seemed to have faded in cold isolation...

Until a red hand offered a new warmth to follow.

Yeeeaaahhhh I caved and made another one- but this is really good I promise-

This AU kicked down my door, punched me in the ribs, yanked my heartstrings, and demanded a place in my stories. And the discord server I'm in convinced me to make this book lol
