Jody ushered Vale into her office, a spacious chamber filled with shelves of scrolls, ink bottles, and enchanted quills that she could easily control with her Spirit Hand at any time she wanted...
The walls were covered with maps of kingdoms, trade routes, and diagrams of various important locations like the Shadow Castle, the Holy Cities, the Forbidden Lands, and many others.
A large desk also dominated the center, stacked with reports and drafts.
She then gestured for Vale to sit, then sat in her chair…
"It's been a while, Immortal Vale."
"Stop that… Just call me Vale…" Vale replied as he was indeed not here to impose his status.
"Then I feel more comfortable. Anyway, you must be wondering how I ended up here, Vale. Running the New Era Chronicle, covering not just the Shadow Domain but half a dozen nations."
Vale adjusted his monocle as he laid his cane against the desk.
