Four Pillars: The Third Shard

What does it mean to come across a fortuitous encounter?

To some, it might mean an opportunity.

To others, it might mean an item or a skill.

However, if there was one thing in common among them, it was the fact that the person had come across it on their own.

Naturally, Valyr was of the same mind when it came to the matter.

But after having the fortuitous encounter appear before him out of nowhere, the young man now began to think otherwise.

Of course, Vaughn more or less reacted the same way as him, being left at a complete loss for words as the shard remained on the ground.

Watching the rift that had opened out of nowhere gradually disappear, the man looked back and forth between Valyr and the shard before opening his mouth. "Are my eyes deceiving me… or is that a Shard of Defiance?"

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, the young man looked at Vaughn with a wry smile. "You could already tell by the aura, no?"
