Calen was sitting on his bed with a copy of 'A brief history of the Flamebearers' in his hand, waiting to be read.
The book was significantly shorter than one would expect from a tome describing multiple world-saving heroes, but apparently there was a reason for it.
"Every single mark bearer disappeared soon after finishing their job, so we only have fragmented second hand accounts." That was what Elira told him.
He wasn't particularly thrilled to learn that all of his predecessors fell off the face of the earth, but he figured that maybe reading this book would give him some sort of a clue on how to avoid a similar fate.
The thin tome looked... unique, to say the least.
The cover wasn't made of wood, leather or paper like in most cases - instead the old pages were cased in a heavy metal binder, covered in elaborate illustrations depicting various foes defeated by the past Flamebearers.
