After careful deliberation and thinking, Ethan found himself staring at the entrance of a sealed cave along with his two lovers Emma and Lilith, and his adoptive father, Wallace.
Just behind Ethan, the Elders of the Protector Clans were busy unraveling the complex seal that had been placed over the entrance of the cave, which led to one of the branches of the River of Okeanos.
Fortuna, Enzo, Thorric, and Heleth stood behind the Elders and looked at the entrance of the cave with solemn gazes.
At their center were Joanne and her Handmaidens.
The young girl came because she wanted to see the River of Okeanos, which she had only heard about in passing from her Grandfather and Grandmother.
Emma and Lilith tried to convince Ethan to skip the trial because he didn’t need to prove anything.
Even those who were born in Caer Wydion and were part of the Four Protector Clans thought that this trial was simply too much.
