A Sense of Dissonance

A Sense of Dissonance

A strange feeling. A discomfort caused by an unfamiliar atmosphere or presence.

Vera was feeling it.

His rational mind told him that it was simply because he had been away from Mount Suncrest Sect for so long.

But his instincts warned him—something was about to happen.

The problem was, no one knew when it would unfold... or worse, if it had already happened.

That night, after receiving his first lesson from Great Master Thorne, Vera returned to Blooming Peak Pavilion.

Though Dylan had already succumbed to exhaustion and fallen asleep...

Vera sat by the open wooden window, gazing up at the night sky.

"…This is strange."

Something was definitely off.

When did it begin?

That eerie resonance that came from the depths of Mount Suncrest at dawn?

It must have been around that time.
