The presence was unmistakable. Everyone could see it no matter where they were, even those still staying in the Castle. It was towering, bigger than a giant, as if the mountain itself was moving. Under its many watchful eyes, the humans felt like there was nowhere to hide, not even beneath the ground or behind a barrier wall.
Perhaps, the void they saw across the desert had always been there to hide this presence.
Zein narrowed his eyes. No--if that entity had been there, out in the open the whole time, there was no reason for It to wait for this long before taking action. The moment the Castle's Watchtower was erected and the shard was mounted, it should have already seen it.
No, if it was the real Fallen Star with all of its prowess, It shouldn't wait this long.
