Darian kept moving forward, walking through the desert. When night fell, he stopped, sat down where he was, and closed his eyes in meditation.
He had already been in that spot for more than fifteen days, but he still had to wait at least fifteen more. That was because, when he first arrived on this planet, he received an emblem and was warned by the local watchman:
"Your message has been sent. But, unfortunately, the guest has come at a bad time. The Emperor and the Matriarch are in an extremely important and critical meeting. It will take at least thirty days before they can receive you, so you have the option of leaving and coming back later, or waiting here, inside our home."
Darian chose to stay, and when the planet's leaders were ready to see him, they would be able to locate him instantly and bring him over. That's why…
…at this moment, Darian was actually training.
