Liam appeared above the roof of the inn where Chrises was staying. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across Velaris, painting the city in warm amber tones, and from this elevated vantage point, he could see the entire capital spread before him.
It was currently late afternoon, which meant Chrises wouldn't be at the inn but at the store handling the day's business.
Liam descended from the roof, his landing smooth and controlled. Several people on the street witnessed his arrival, their eyes widening as they watched him touch down with grace. Whispers immediately began spreading through the nearby crowd.
"Who is that mage? He's dressed weird."
"Did you see him just appear from nowhere?"
"The aura coming from him... it's incredible."
"I've never seen him before. Is he visiting from another kingdom?"
