Back in the Realm of Abezan, things had gotten somewhat calmer than before.
It had been a few months since the last attack from the Coalition of the Sect and the Wilderness.
Inside Ember's estate, Ozul was holed up in his room, with no break from his unrest. If not for the fact that it did not let him 'nap', he wouldn't have cared much about it.
Looking at Jinx resting with her back against him, he sighed again.
Even this quiet companion wasn't of any help this time.
Suppressing a groan, he stood up from his bed and spotted a mirror across the room.
Evading his eyes from the reflection in the mirror, he walked across to the exit. He really had no interest in finding out what was on the other side of the mirror; what it felt like to look into his eyes.
'I can't stay like this forever.' The thought went through his mind as he emerged from his room.
