DANTE

Luca was a man whose life I once saved from a brutal and certain death. He was a solitary tracker, wandering the wilderness alone, but three years ago, he was captured by a group of unsavory characters.

He had promised to repay me for my kindness, but at the time, I didn't take his vow too seriously.
