(Within the Time-Stilled World, Leo's Private Mansion, Leo's POV)
After his aura had begun to grow unstable nearly a decade ago, Leo had left Skyshard City and moved to a secluded corner of the Time-Stilled World so as to not be a threat to the civilian population around him.
His residence was simple: a single-room dwelling with an adjoining training arena, devoid of attendants, guards, or luxuries.
Situated almost two hundred miles from the city's edge, his isolation was not born of preference but of necessity.
Ever since he began walking the path of the Emperor, his aura had become something the world itself resisted.
A moment's lapse in control could shatter glass, crack walls, or extinguish life without intent.
And hence only a handful were ever permitted near him, and even they came solely when summoned.
