Drawing after drawing Silas showed me the images of Bjorn and many other people explaining how the twos' life played out. How they bared many children, but in the great war, something happened that changed Anna's life forever. "Anna loved Bjorn, but when their eldest daughter died, Bjorn lost himself. His daughter was everything to him but his best friend killed her. A man he trusted, and Anna would have died too had Bjorn not got there in time to save her." The look he gave when he said Anna would have died was heartbreaking, and I realized he definitely knew her on a more personal level. However, if that was the case, then that meant he was far older than I expected. "Silas, you knew her personally, didn't you?"

Lifting his gaze to me, he opened his mouth, "I did."

"That would make you over a thousand years old!" I gasped trying to wrap my mind around how old he really was. However, laughter left him as he shook his head no.

"I'm definitely not that damn old, but I am a few hundred years old."

"That doesn't make sense, Silas. She lived here a thousand years ago," I replied, trying to understand what he was saying. The math didn't add up, and as much as I wanted to know about her, I had to understand the truth behind him. "Look... why don't you let me finish what I'm telling you first before you assume things," he suggested causing me to nod, deciding not to continue asking him any more questions.

"Good, as I was saying... Bjorn lost his mind, and when he did, Anna fled with the rest of her children, hiding them around the world out of fear that they may be hurt in his rage. Now, Bjorn didn't take kindly to what Anna did... he saw her as a traitor, and wanted back what was rightfully his. So he sought to battle with her to find them, and then forced her into submission."
