The rain was ever-present.
Adam passed through the giant wall dividing the city in two and made his way toward his destination in HighGrey.
A sea of people passed him by. Some were in hooded raincoats like him. Others used umbrellas.
In Greyreach, every household had at least a couple of umbrellas with them. It was a necessity in this city.
Raindrops danced atop the hood of his cloak as Adam was lost in thought.
Dio's words echoed in his mind.
"My source tells me the higher-ups in the city know the truth behind Mackledar. But I could not confirm it until you went there yourself. I have reasons to believe that at least one of the Dukes knows the real reason."
Adam's thoughts whirled.
The higher-ups know the truth? What truth?
And why had they hidden it behind that illusory barrier?
Why are the Dukes hiding it?
And was the person who attacked me following their orders?
