Solas And Nox 2: The Beginning

Jace raised a brow at the two brothers, his ancestors, wondering if they truly had no knowledge of the system that had become such an integral part of his life. Their apparent ignorance seemed at odds with the immense power he sensed emanating from them, power that seemed capable of shaping realms and destinies.

"System?" Solas repeated, his tone laced with a hint of curiosity, yet tempered by caution.

Jace scrutinized them closely, looking for any sign that they might be feigning ignorance. But their expressions were genuine—Nox's playful demeanor had shifted into one of genuine puzzlement, while Solas's celestial features were marred by a thoughtful frown.

"Do you really have no idea what I'm talking about?" Jace asked, his voice a mix of disbelief and curiosity.

Nox's playful eyes narrowed, his earlier amusement replaced by a seriousness that was rare for him. "What's a 'system,' exactly? You've mentioned it, but we've never encountered such a thing."
