"The one who convinced me of this was Mr. Brand." Count Oting laughed, "Someone can bring light in the darkness, I have witnessed it with my own eyes."
Princess Griffine remembered his experiences, nodding slightly in relief, but couldn't help casting a curious glance at Brand.
Yet, what everyone didn't know was that further away, in the forest atop Angerk Mountain, an old voice was softly reciting the same words:
"The Dark Monarch herds wolves and walks; before doomsday, disaster follows. In his eyes, the world has no secrets."
"The prophecy is being fulfilled one by one."
"My king, you have indeed returned once more..."
Brand's long howl resonated through the mountains, even causing the black wolves beside him to pause. The next moment, everyone felt the ground tremble slightly, not a shake caused by heavy cavalry charging, but a true shudder coursing through the entire valley.
