Three important figures of the future… gathered in a single city.
Coincidence, or something more sinister?
River couldn't decide. His instincts told him it was more than chance, but he wasn't about to jump to conclusions. For now, all he could do was keep moving forward. Still, the weight of it gnawed at the back of his mind.
Helio—the Sun God Mage.
Freya—the White Knight.
And Melody—the Mute Mage.
River clenched his fists, muttering under his breath. "If this isn't fate pulling strings, then what is it?"
But speculation could wait. Right now, there were more immediate matters at hand. Melody would eventually find her path, and when she did, he'd be there to guide her. He didn't need to force her awakening early. Not yet.
For now, survival came first.
The sound of rough voices echoed through a nearby alleyway, dragging River back to the present.
"I think I saw him here."
"Yeah, I saw him too—but he suddenly disappeared."
"Does he have an invisibility Skill?"
