"There is a popular story of a man who'd offended a GrandMaster who was eventually able to progress to Tier 7. This Lawbearer later went on to grasp the essence of time to an extent, embedding it into his render," Lytheron narrated, just for Zephyr to get more understanding of the vast realm difference between Lawbearers and lower tier mages.
"The man, who was only a Tier 4 mage, escaped to a different country after he heard the news of his enemy's advancement. He lived his full life there, got married, bore and raised children, who also went on to give him grandchildren… He even managed to regain a great deal of his wealth over the decades."
"It was a seemingly blissful and fulfilled life up until that point, because right after, everything tumbled downhill. First he lost his wife to a strange, sudden illness. Then, his children and grandchildren all perished in a catastrophic accident. The man was devastated, losing the entire bloodline he had built."
