The Exile

This silver goblet is a family heirloom of an exiled aristocrat. The exterior was once inlaid with a gem engraved with his family crest. But after the exile had brought shame to his family, he carved out the symbol of which he was once proud. As a result, this cup is broken and can no longer hold liquid. But the exile still carries it with him until the end of his journey.

It all happened before the exiled aristocrat was involved in the family feud. This flower bloomed before the first blood was shed. Having witnessed the cruelty of humanity, the exile left his kindness and gentleness in the past. But this faded flower and the innocent smile he once had will always be his treasure.

Through plains and forests, the exile traveled alone in the wild. Through thick layers of dark clouds, an azure feather fell on his shoulder. The feather came from a panicked bird escaping from the falcon, just like the exile. The feather represents the spirit of a nestless, free bird, just like the exile.

As a child, the exile lived in a noble house. His childhood was carefree, and his playground was a palace built with silver. In the times of old, the circlet of his father was a symbol of gentility and nobility. However, years later, a family feud painted the collapsing palace blood-red. The circlet became the evidence of the exile's crime and has been with the exile ever since.

The aristocrat acquired this pocket watch back in his youth. This delicate timepiece recorded every moment of his childhood. But tragedy brought his carefree days to an abrupt end. The aristocrat was forced into a long and lonesome exile.
