Esdras was jolted from his bed by the sound of loud and insistent knocking on his door. He frowned, wondering who could be calling on him so aggressively in the middle of the day.
Even his friends wouldn't behave like this unless there was an urgent situation. Celine was playful but not annoying, it couldn't be her.
As he stood up from his desk and made his way to the door, he couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of foreboding. The knocking continued, louder and more insistent than ever, until he finally reached the door and flung it open.
But it was not anyone he knew, they were two strangers.
"Hhm?… you are?" He asked carefully.
They were two people outside of his room, a huge and imposing man, his presence seemed to overpower the surroundings and exuded a great authority. To the side and a step behind him was a fit but petite woman with short hair and frown that made her look dissatisfied all the time.
