Archer walked beside his Uncle Finnian Silverthrone through the garden as the morning sun shone, lighting up everything around them. He only stopped when he reached the mansion's entrance.
The two entered. While strolling down one corridor, the older man turned to him before answering his previous question. ''No, I don't mind,'' Finnian said. ''Sia is old enough to know what's good for her, and I've noticed her mood has improved dramatically over the last year, thanks to you.''
As they continued their conversation, he nodded in response to his Uncle's words. He discovered that Finnian was a talented earth mage who contributed to the empire with his construction magic.
After a brief walk, Finnian led them through a side door into the mansions. He followed behind, and as soon as they entered, he was smothered in a big hug, which caught him off guard.
