224 Meeting

As Tika led the way, with Raydon trailing behind in silence, they eventually reached a spacious area where the corridor widened. Tika walked to the end of the corridor, where there was a grand wooden door, and gave it a light knock before taking a step back and going into a waiting position.

''Come in. '' 

A hushed and subdued voice could be heard coming from the other side of the door. The resonance of the voice was intriguingly low, yet it continued to resound in both of their minds like the distant rumble of thunder. 

Tika eased the door open with a light push and indicated for Raydon to go inside. Just as she was about to close the door from the outside, she heard the same voice again.

"Tika, stay and accompany your young master."
