{AU: Valdemar} V1
[He hates pushing this poor horse so hard. He really does-- but dammit, dammit if he's going to give up on Alma now. They said the Hawkbrothers might be able to help him-- he'll take a might over the Healer's definite "no".]
[His brother had been so badly hurt in the last raid... so very, very badly, and inflicted with a curse that deteriorates his mind. Even now he kept asking his brother where they where, even though Kanda had told him more than a dozen times already.]
[The curse would eat away at his brother's memory until there was nothing left. And it'd destroy everything else from there.]
[All Kanda could do now-- was hope that he found this so-called Vale soon. It's his--and Alma's-- very last hope.]
