Stein, Rayven's elder brother, had a commanding presence, the kind that made people instinctively step aside when he passed.
He was broad-shouldered and tall, with sun-browned skin from years of travel… It was unlike Rayven's fair skin as he had just started traveling around.
Still, with his short, dark hair and a trimmed beard, he certainly had a semblance of Rayven. That could not be denied.
The merchant caravan he commanded was on its final stretch, just half a day more before reaching Hesa City.
Indeed, he didn't just come to visit Rayven in Hesa City. He was also going there for business to save the same.
Unfortunately, as they were getting closer, fate seemed to have other plans.
Suddenly, the ground trembled violently.
A deafening roar echoed and made everyone grimace… It was even followed by the crash of falling trees.
With that incident, the horses reared and panicked. The lead carriage splintered as a massive, furred body slammed across the path!
Bang!
