The pain of being betrayed, Raze knew that well. One of his close colleagues, Ibarin, the current head of the central Mage Academy, was one who had betrayed him.
Doing whatever they could to climb up, and in turn was a person that had ruined his life, and for what, for something as simple as a position?
When coming to Pagna, Raze wished to trust no one. Those that did him well would end up hurt, and those that he did end up trusting would just hurt him in return.
Having those close to him like Simyon and Safa, had started to make him think that he could be less cautious around others, but right now, a member of his own clan that had helped him several times, was ready to give all that up over an item.
As Raze walked closer to Elvlin, she could feel her heart beating, it was trying to pop out of her throat. There was this strange aura around his body.
