He flees, lost in madness. He spends the next few months wondering the land, raving about monsters only he can see, consumed by guilt and remorse. He is eventually taken in by a friendly local family, whose kindness and generosity helps him to keep the demons at bay. One day, the small town he has taken to calling home is threatened by advance elements of his former foes, and he is once again called to battle. He has a chance to redeem himself, but will it be through victory or through his death?
He's not insane; it's everyone else who is insane! Can't they see what's right in front of their eyes? He must flee! flee! Before these beasts that walk like men take his soul screaming down to hell!

Becoming a murderous Hobo isn't an option?
