Darius entered the town with Gunner, the gate guards greeting him as they had long come to know of his name. Darius was notable, not only for his age and power, but the visual dynamic between him and Gunner.

Nicholas was not angry or bothered by Darius' behaviors. On the contrary, he was instantly worried as he knew Darius to usually be quite a levelheaded and sociable person.
