Chapter 56: What an interesting guy

The sky quickly darkened under a blanket of black clouds as brilliant flashes of lightning ripped across the horizon. Soon after, a violent storm raged over the entire city of Ignes, engulfing it in a chaos of rain and wind.

Theo couldn't help but sigh long with exhaustion as he searched for some establishment to take shelter from the storm. It had been a few days since he had left that strange magical forest.
