Reading the Flow
Cyrus stood alone, the town's dimly lit houses looming behind him like ancient monoliths. The only companion to his solitude was Queen, the sophisticated artificial intelligence that resided within his mind, her ethereal presence a comforting constant. He was on the precipice of a journey that he felt woefully underprepared for.
There was no reason to gather up his belongings, with the power that had been bestowed upon him, he could phase his inventory between himself and his storage with a mere thought. Despite his inhuman abilities, his heart still pounded in his chest like a drummer gone rogue. Resolve hardened within him as he made the decision to slip out of the town unnoticed, his sights set on the enigmatic bog where he hoped to learn from Brightroot, the ancient entity that was the protector of this strange mist covered land.
