The Faraway Paladin — Season 1
Awakened to a strange new existence after a life seemingly frozen in time, young Will finds himself raised by an unlikely family: a skeleton named Blood, a spectral guide called Gus, and a steadfast mummy known as Mary. Living amongst the remnants of a lost civilization, these extraordinary guardians impart their unique wisdom – Blood trains him in combat, Gus unlocks the secrets of magic, and Mary instills faith and a sense of duty. Above all, they shower him with unconditional love. As Will matures and begins to understand the world he inhabits, he anticipates the day he must venture out on his own, fulfilling a promise made long ago. In their society, adulthood marks a pivotal moment: a sacred oath sworn to a chosen deity, the strength of which determines the blessing received. But as Will prepares for this momentous departure, he’s forced to confront the reality of his undead protectors and step into an unknown world—a world even they can't fully comprehend. He soon learns that every oath carries weight, and its fulfillment is inevitable, regardless of the path taken.
