Arthur knew he was dying, but still, a small smile played on his lips as he thought of what he’d been able to do in his final days and hours. He’d tried his best to be a good man, in the end; to help those who needed helping, to try to undo some of the bad things he’d done in his life, to stand up to Dutch when he lost his way and became someone that Arthur didn’t recognise anymore. But most importantly of all, he’d done everything possible to help the people he loved.

Arthur waits to die on a cold, Ambarino mountain, but he didn’t figure on a best friend with a gut feeling he refused to ignore. Given an unexpected second chance, Arthur has to think about moving on from his past, and living a different kind of life.

Charles has spent the majority of the last years alone. After running away from his home at the age of thirteen – an empty, broken home smelling of nothing more than alcohol and dust – he’s largely been able to get by alone. He’s joined up with the occasional caravan, stayed in a town once or twice long enough to be familiar with names, but those never lasted long enough. A few weeks, a month or two at most, and he’d be gone. He moves faster on his own, shoots quicker without distractions; he doesn’t need a shadow behind him, let alone twenty.

And yet.

— OR: —

Travelling on the mountains, Charles Smith hears two men being attacked by wolves and figures the least he can do is save their lives. They repay him by offering him a place in their gang.
