Arad lumbered from the shadows, taking a step into the light. He was massive, titanic in size, and his mere presence caused the room to grow colder, sending shivers down everyone's backs. Arms thicker than a woman's hips, legs the size of tree trunks, and a large torso that resembled a brick wall, even the biggest chair looked like a toy in front of his immense, hulking mass.
Everyone in the room beside Peara was far stronger than any Master, reaching realms only touched by the strongest of this world. But with Arad there, none of them dared take a single breath. They might be arrogant, but they weren't fools.
Several layers of arrays and barrier magic sealed this room, making it impossible to get in and out of it undetected. Not even Elders could sneak in, but Arad did it.
Arad didn't just sneak past the barriers, but past everyone in the room, and he even managed to hide in the shadows undetected by those who could sense a fly in absolute darkness.
