Book VII: The Book of Kane I
Chapter 3: The Lonely Man
As the years passed, Kane, in his maddened state, occasionally ventured close to Gor, drawn by an irresistible force, hungry to see how his sons’ people were making out.
During one of his visits, he stumbled upon a hidden vantage point overlooking the city. From this distance, he witnessed the grandeur of the city his son Derk had built in Gor, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of his descendants. However, he also saw the cruel reality of his son’s reign and the very apparent suffering of the enslaved clans of his son Drok.
A fleeting moment of clarity washed over Kane, filled with a mix of pride and sorrow for what his lineage had become.
Driven by a desperate need to intervene, Kane attempted many times to approach the city. Yet, without Baal’s Shroud to cover his face, the ghastly Mark of Immortality on Kane’s forehead stopped any chance for human contact – for all who saw it were repulsed by Kane and ran from him.
With no other choice, the forlorn Kane retreated once more into the wilderness, his heart heavy with the burden of his eternal existence and the legacy he had left behind.
