Lucien pulled the black card from his Inventory.
It glowed faintly. The same reaction it had shown when he showed it to Kaia and the others before.
Lucien rotated it between two fingers and watched the glow deepen, then soften again as if it was testing the wind.
'It is guiding us,' he thought.
They followed the direction where the glow grew warmer.
They stopped where the barrier's edge curved over a high ridge.
Lucien looked at Kaia.
"Do you know which Liberator is coming?"
Kaia frowned in thought.
"I have not worked at the East branch. But if the one managing the East is the one answering this call…"
She paused, then snapped her fingers.
"Cassian," she said.
Lucien's brows rose. "Cassian."
Kaia nodded.
"They call him the East Warden sometimes. He's a pretty chill guy."
She tilted her head, as if weighing whether to continue, then did anyway.
"He practices the Law of Interval."
Lucien's eyebrows lifted.
"Is it fine to tell me his Law?"
