As Breson passed through the courtyard, he saw the tiny leaves of the Tree of the Four Seasons in Golan-Elsen scattered all over the ground. In the legends of Erune, each leaf of the Tree of the Four Seasons is said to carry the heroic spirit of those slain in battle. This is why such trees are often planted in military camps to symbolize the enduring spirit of the warriors.
He looked at those leaves and couldn't help but think of the faces of his fallen comrades in the war. So much so that he barely heard the words of his father, Sir Habuki, the municipal councilman of Brags, who was speaking to him.
"When the commendation from above comes down this time, I'll see if I can arrange for you to be transferred back to Brags. Would you like to join the Security Cavalry? I still have some influence at the city hall."
