Rin ran.
He didn't care who saw him.
He didn't care whether the servants heard his footsteps echoing through the corridors.
The moment he had felt that strange pain in his chest, he knew something was wrong.
Eryndor.
Something had happened to him.
The old family record was still in Rin's hand as he moved through the dark corridor.
The words kept repeating inside his mind.
Bearer of Calamity.
That title couldn't be a coincidence.
Not after everything Rin had already learned.
Not after discovering that Eryndor would one day become Kaelith.
Not after seeing that strange symbol in the book.
And now…
The mark.
A black mark had appeared on Eryndor's palm.
Rin reached the end of the corridor and stopped in front of the door.
"Eryndor!"
No answer.
Rin opened the door.
The room was dark.
"Eryndor?"
Nothing.
Rin stepped inside.
The window was open.
The curtains moved with the wind.
The bed was untouched.
"Eryndor?"
He walked toward the window.
