Chapter 31
Meanwhile, in the city of Rutria.
Jon sat still, his gaze locked onto the ball of white energy floating before him.

The orb sighed, clearly exasperated, like someone explaining a simple problem to stubborn children.
You have to leave the Kingdom of Rugraiy right now. Take your entire family with you. This kingdom is about to fall into danger.
Jon stared at the orb, openly skeptical.
He was not a superstitious man. He had never believed in bad omens, divine warnings, or strange magical tricks. But the voice carried something real, something heavy. A sincerity that made him pause despite himself.
And how do you know that? Jon asked.
The words sounded genuine, but he needed proof.
The orb glowed faintly, as if tired.
Explaining will take time. Time we do not have. So it is better if I show you.
The orb flared, turning blinding white.
