A Hateful Friend

Runera was different in this world as well, but it was not by a large margin. However, what made Arthur realize Runera is his city was the voice he heard as soon as he arrived. It was distant and ancient, coming from the heart of the city.

'Welcome back,' the child-like voice, masked with a layer of ancientness, belonged to no other than the spirit of his past world. Arthur paused as soon as he heard it, and Oriole turned around to look at him with confusion.

"Are you alright, Alexie?" asked Oriole with a frown. The rest of the envoys were leaving the portals stations.

"I am," said Arthur with a smile. "I just feel at home," said Arthur while closing his eyes. The city vibrated with runes. It was the same feeling he got when he first arrived at Runera, but it never occurred to him because this was the place he built.
