Despite his belief in the limitations of the new mages, Kayden began to notice a disturbing pattern: the heavens seemed to tolerate, if not favor, the growth of these mages. It was as if the universe was shaping a new era of rulers, even if they were imperfect.

For Kayden, this was a fatal mistake, for true balance could only be achieved through absolute strength.
"Master Kayden, I didn't expect to find you here." Kayden heard a voice above the planet where he was. It didn't take him a second to recognize the owner of this enigmatic voice. It was one of his disciples, someone he hadn't expected to see there.
