The aroma of a morning feast filled the air as Kael entered the dining hall. His friends were already seated, engrossed in their breakfast. With a smile, Kael took his place among them, eager to share the news.
"Guess what, guys? I crossed paths with Captain Adrian Thorne, the head of the royal mages. He's not only knowledgeable but also willing to assist us," Kael announced, his enthusiasm radiating through every word.
As the group delved into discussions about Captain Thorne, Sebastian entered the dining hall, catching the tail end of Kael's revelation. A hearty chuckle escaped him as he seamlessly joined the conversation, shedding light on his younger brother's extraordinary capabilities.
"Captain Adrian Thorne isn't just the head of the royal mages; he's my younger brother," Sebastian revealed, a touch of pride lacing his voice. "At the tender age of five, he displayed an incredible proficiency with mana. It was evident he possessed a unique talent."
Sebastian's narrative continued to unfold. "By the time he turned thirteen, Adrian had surpassed every mage on the High Council. His abilities are nothing short of exceptional."
The weight of this revelation settled over the group as they absorbed the implications of Captain Thorne's prowess. Sebastian, with a mischievous glint in his eye, delivered yet another bombshell.
"Oh, and did I mention? Adrian recently assumed the role of Captain of the Royal Guards. He's quite the rising star in Astoria," Sebastian disclosed with a grin, leaving the group to ponder the extraordinary capabilities of Captain Adrian Thorne.
