A Victim?

—

Scar gazed upon Kieran silently after hearing him mention the Trial of Inheritors. It was a rite of passage every inheritor of a Mythical Mantle must go through. However, it couldn't begin until the holders filled all of the inheritors' slots.

How fast the inheritors gathered depended on the seven original holders of the Mythical Mantles. Scar was the only Mythical Hero with an inheritor to partake in the trial.

Before answering Kieran's question, Scar sighed and shook his head. "Way to ruin the surprise, you insane woman." Of course, Scar didn't speak too loudly in case Isadora wasn't preoccupied.

At their level, one's hearing was frightening, capable of picking up the slightest sound hundreds of kilometers away. Scar's future wouldn't be necessarily well if Isadora caught him slandering her name by referring to her as an insane woman.
