Atticus appeared in the skies above his training continent. His gaze settled on the figure seated cross-legged, dangerously close to the vein root.
'Grandpa Magnus.'
He frowned as Anorah's words surfaced in his mind.
"Go see Grandpa Magnus. Aside from mother Anastasia, I think he took it the hardest."
According to her, Magnus had tried to enter the portal to the Willguard domain the moment he heard what happened.
But with no one else knowing its location, he had been forced to stop. Since then, he hadn't left the portal room even once.
With a quiet exhale, Atticus descended and appeared before him. He could see the heat from the veil root pressing against Magnus's body, making his skin faintly sizzle.
"Grandpa…"
Magnus' eyes slowly opened. He tilted his head slightly as his gaze fell on Atticus.
"Atticus."
"You're too close to the tree. You'll burn yourself."
