Nasir stood quietly in the stands of the arena in Fort White as he watched the three Demon boys that he was put in charge of. They were currently going all out in a spar, with them being against each other.
Every time Nasir looked at the boys, he was reminded of all the time he spent in servitude of Ashtar. And then, he was reminded of how he was captured and turned into a servant in the first place.
The truth had come out when the High General had been fighting against Leonidas. He had an extremely rare and unique affinity for time. Even though it was so tiny that it almost did not matter, that affinity manifested into a skill that allowed him to freeze time within a certain area.
It was not only that either. Because of this affinity, Ashtar was able to develop a heightened sense and reaction time compared to others.
As Nasir thought about this, the circumstances behind his failure to assassinate the High General during the Great Shift became clearer and clearer.
