The news of his father allegedly joining the enemies' side weighed heavily on Rain's heart. He couldn't believe that his brave and noble father, who had always been a steadfast protector of the kingdom, could betray their people and align with their adversaries. Yet, the rumors were persistent, and they found their way into every corner of the realm, casting a shadow of doubt on his father's character.
He found it difficult to concentrate during his healing practice, as his mind kept drifting to thoughts of his father's whereabouts and the rumors about his alleged betrayal. The uncertainty gnawed at him, leaving him restless and sleepless at night.

"Their abilities are hard to explain, and they make sure to keep most of them hidden from others," Meiro explained.
"Still, if they can control dragons…" Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows.
