Valeria shouted in alarm and was about to approach her father in a blink of an eye. Alas, her agile form stopped in midair because of the advent of something that she could not dare defy.
"TAP!" The clock moved again and the distortion brought about 2 newcomers in the field.
All along, Valeria was strung in the open air as even the ability to make a squeak was taken out from her at the moment. But that did not mean at all that she was struck dumb in place.
Far from that in fact. Valeria used her divine sense to ascertain the identities of the 2 unexpected visitors. They were both men.
One wore a beggar's clothing with a dirty face and an almost emaciated appearance. Sickly looking and had a bowed back on him.
While the other man seemed to grace the land with his mere presence alone.
This second person looked like a king and ruler of all as his guise was complete with all the aspects of royalty.
