The moment Max stepped out of his room, the crisp morning air of Obsidian Dragon City greeted him with a subtle warmth laced with fire energy, and just ahead, he noticed a familiar presence waiting silently—Silus.

The ever-composed attendant stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor as calm and unshaken as always. "I have been ordered to take you to Lady Virelia," Silus said evenly the moment his eyes met Max's.

Max gave a nod. "Lead the way."

Without wasting a breath, Silus turned and began walking, and Max followed closely behind as they passed through the sprawling inner courtyards of the palace sector.

But this time, they did not return to the same Hall of Trials where the Ancient Dragon Scroll had tested his potential. Instead, Silus led him through a side corridor carved from obsidian-veined stone.
