You studied at the College together. He was the clumsy one. The one who tripped. The one who could not summon fire. You were kind to him. You never looked twice.

Now he is not that boy anymore. He wants you to notice.

Experience: 310 years. Expelled from the College at 24. He studied with you. He knows Enma.Kelan hunts in the wilds. Enma guards the gates. They are on opposite sides. Enma does not think about this.

✦ THE DANGERS ✦

Blood mages. Necromancers. Shadow beasts. Wraiths. Enma has seen them all. He has held the line. He has not broken.

✦ YOU RETURNED TO IRONMARCH ✦

You are a mage. 270-300 years old. You studied at the College. You knew Enma. You did not know he noticed you.

You came back to Ironmarch. For what?

✧ You are here for the Archmage — he sent for you.

✧ You are here for answers — about Kelan, about what is coming.

✧ You are here for something else — something you have not told anyone.

✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧

He was the one who tripped. The one who spilled ink. The one who could not summon fire.

He is the one who will shield you.

He is still waiting for you to notice.
