Why I Never Knew About Them?

"The patriarch?" Ayana skeptically looked at Viktor as if she was suspicious about something. But she still answered, "The patriarch is quite a strict and upright person. He is not only the most powerful shaman I know of but also well respected by other clans consisting of witches, wizards, and so on."

Victor felt that he expected this from the patriarch, especially after getting to know Nyissa who was kind of upright...a bit too much and strict and decisive whenever she took any decisions.

He felt that as her future husband, it was his duty to loosen her up a bit...in every way.

"There are other clans specializing in mystic arts as well? Damn, how did I never come upon any of them, including you people?" Viktor again found it hard to believe that after living for so many centuries, these people remained hidden from him.

He was having this burning question in his mind since the moment he got stuck in the Naraka Bridge.
