As Ken slept, he found himself in a dream, walking alongside his beloved master at the bank of a serene river. The master's voice was calm yet filled with wisdom as he spoke, "Ken, whenever you feel lost in life, remember the City of Kaal in Verdantia. There, you will find the answers you seek."
Suddenly, the scene shifted, and Ken witnessed the heartbreaking moment of his master's death once again. He woke up, tears streaming down his face, the pain of loss still fresh in his heart. The dream had stirred up memories and emotions he had tried to bury, leaving him with a sense of longing and determination to uncover the truth behind his master's death.
As Ken's sobs echoed through the room, James stirred from his sleep, concerned by the sound. "Ken, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice filled with sleepiness and worry.
Ken wiped away his tears, trying to compose himself. "I...I had a dream," he began, recounting the details to James. He told him about his master's words, about the City of Kaal in Verdantia, and how he felt compelled to go there, as if it held the answers he sought.
James listened intently, his expression thoughtful. "Verdantia...I've heard of it," he mused. "It's a mysterious place, shrouded in legend and myth. But if your dream is guiding you there, then perhaps it's worth exploring."
Ken nodded, his resolve firm. "I need to find out why my master told me to go there. Maybe...maybe it's the key to understanding my powers, to finding the truth behind everything that's happened."
