— Evening —
Rajendra was in the basement of his son's house. Aryan rarely returned during this time, making it Rajendra's preferred opportunity to contact his benefactor.
Rajendra held a ring close, its jewel designed for communication magic, a rare find even among mages. In this modern era, the existence of mobile phones have completely replaced the need for such artifacts.
Only mages too proud to use mobile phones, or those with closely guarded secrets, still utilized these rings for communication.
Rajendra slipped the ring on and patiently awaited contact from the other side. He found a seat in the basement to sit and wait for the call.
After about 15 minutes, the jewel on the ring shone, the call was received, and Rajendra felt his consciousness sink into darkness.
