Reflecting on Marlin's situation, Prince realized just how valuable a man like Valentine truly was: knowledgeable, insightful, no fear in speaking the truth. For the first time since his tragic journey began, Prince felt he could rely on someone other than himself in his quest to reclaim justice.
However…
Despite Valentins display of confidence and loyalty, he remained a mystery to Prince, vague, unreadable, carrying more secrets than answers.
"Valentin," Prince said solemnly. "Our meeting has been fated, and our goals are aligned… but there is still so much about you I do not understand." Prince said looking into the depths of Valentins eyes." So tell me… just what has led you here? Just Why is it do you walk this path?"
Valentin paused breifly, taking in a breath. His eyes flickered as a memory flashed across them like a flame.
