Garion was about to speak when a voice suddenly cut him off from above. "To think the one I intercepted is the God Gym."
Everyone stopped and turned toward the sky. When they looked up, they saw him clearly.
A man dressed entirely in black stood calmly on the back of a huge flying black crow.
His presence felt steady, but there was a sharp edge behind it, like he had already decided what was going to happen.
Before anyone else could react, Garion stepped forward and looked up. "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer right away. Instead, he slowly removed his mask, revealing his face.
The moment his face was exposed, the twins, Clara, and Eliza reacted immediately.
Clara's eyes narrowed. "You… you're the one who attacked us before. That stupid crow."
Garion glanced at them, confused. "He attacked you? When? Why don't I remember this?"
Clara let out a short breath and explained. "Yes, Master. It was when you entered the demon gate."
