The morning sun bathed the corridors of the Vossmer estate in a soft, golden light, highlighting the intricate carvings on the stone walls and the polished floors.

Elion walked briskly, his golden eyes calm yet alert, absorbing every detail around him with his perfect memory.

The estate felt busier than usual. New servants, guards, and soldiers filled the halls, their unfamiliar faces standing out like ink on a blank page. Elion noted each one, his mind cataloging them effortlessly.

His steps slowed briefly as his mind drifted to the conversation he had with Graviel during their late-night walk a few days prior.
