She travels solo until she meets Alzeid, a handsome, mysterious man on a quest to avenge his father’s murder. After helping him reclaim his stolen gun, Rahzel decides to join him, promising to make his “lousy and boring” life more interesting. They are soon joined by Baroqueheat, a friend who is a bit of a womanizer.
