Although Winterseed wasn't a magic-oriented village, the successful awakening of Riela and the appearance of Dragun and Vishirk—who could use magic—made the people understand its power and importance. Therefore, when news spread that Rowan was going to attempt his own awakening, just like Riela, most of the villagers rushed to the village square to witness it.
It was already afternoon, but the sun's glow and heat were gentle, making the environment comfortable and relaxed for everyone.
In the village square, many villagers had already gathered, discussing among themselves.
In the middle stood Dragun, who had just finished drawing the magic formation to aid Rowan's awakening and ward off demons from exploiting his vulnerability during that moment to possess him.
While Dragun worked on the magic formation, Vishirk didn't stay idle; he began drawing a large box on the ground around the formation to prevent the villagers from stepping closer.
