Unfathomable

In the southeast direction of South Ward stood a tall ash tree atop a mound. This was the usual hangout spot for Adam and his friends. However, today the youth was alone.

The sun was high up in the sky, its warm rays filtering through the canopy of the ash tree, casting dotted patterns on the ground underneath.

The youth wore black robes and a pointy hat of the same color, sitting beneath the shade of this tree, leaning against its trunk, and enjoying the breathtaking view of Moon City.

Beside him, a gray cat lazily slept on a comfortable patch of grass.

The raven-haired youth glanced at the cat and stroked his head fondly, "Val, want something to eat?"

Valerian's ears perked up and he looked at Adam excitedly. 'Meat!'

Adam couldn't help but chuckle at the little guy's response. The next moment, he waved his hand, and a bowl full of grilled meat shot out from his spatial earring and appeared before Valerian.
