The ring trembles [2]

'What about him makes you go so crazy?' 

Upon hearing the question, Atlas remained quiet for a few seconds. What exactly did he see in Julien that made him act like that? 

The answer wasn't hard to figure out for him. 

It wasn't just Julien's talent that attracted him to take him in as his disciple. For someone who had lived for as long as he had, he had seen plenty of talents. 

Julien was amongst the top, but talent wasn't enough to move him. 

No, it was something else... 

"His desperation." 

Yes, his desperation. 

That was what moved him. 

Sithrus's features remained unchanged, and yet, it almost felt like his brow raised. There was also this clear feel of amusement that exuded from him. 

"Hm? His desperation? That's a rather interesting answer." 

"Yes." 

Atlas lowered his head. 

"It's his desperation."
