"Surprised."
Was one of the words Ray thought of after hearing Roki words. He would have never imagined any of this to be the case. His mother was always a secretive person, and his father for that matter from a young age.
When Ray got older he always thought it didn't make sense for both of them to settle down in a no name village with their skills. His dad was a strong warrior and his mother one of the best fire mages he had seen. With their skills, they could have made a decent coin anywhere.
Still, just because his mother had obtained the pendent, didn't mean she was the previous leader. She could have got it off someone else and given it to Ray as a gift.
"Roki, were you alive while the previous leader was still present, do you have any idea what she looked like or their personality?" Ray asked.
