Elian's POV
*****
Silverpine Wilderness.
That name stuck with him the moment he heard it from the Arcadian Council.
When Kyren's voice whispered his name through the ruby necklace, he knew instantly that he was in some trouble.
But then the thought. The Rogue King. Lord of Darkness. Sovereign of the Dark Lands. In trouble?
Elian didn't realise how highly he'd thought of Kyren until now. However, on the flip side, this also spurred his desire to become stronger.
'Arcadia is literally the homeland of magic.' He thought to himself during the sky craft trip to the witch kingdom. 'If there's anywhere I'm supposed to find ways to strengthen my mana core—it's there.'
He'll be saving Kyren and getting stronger at the same time. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
Alas, those wishes died when Arcadian soldiers approached him and Lucian barely minutes after they touched down on the Silver Pine forest.
