Sly Old Man

Mr. Boudreau leaned in on his desk, putting all his attention on the rude young man in front of him.

"The reason I'm building a shelter is quite simple. We will need it soon. Things are changing on Earth, and soon, the changes will start happening faster and faster."

"What kind of changes?" Jack asked him.

Even if the man had suspicions, given the events of the last month, with his grandson suddenly being able to use magic, and Alexander being able to transform into half a monster, he preferred having a better overview of the situation.

"World destroying changes. It will start small. Like humans being able to suddenly perform feats unimaginable before. But it will worsen. Mana, the energy that is leaking into our world, will do more than change humans."

Alexander listened with rapt attention, too. Although David had told him most of this already, he wanted to be sure to get any new piece of information he could get out of the guy who knew most.
