Jax stood quietly at the edge of the plaza for several seconds, his brown human eyes fixed on the distant fortress built into the mountainside.
From this far away it looked like nothing more than a massive military complex.
But Jax could clearly feel the four distinct signatures pulsing from within the mountain fortress like distant beacons.
Killian, Alicia, Lizzy and Touka.
Jax's lips curved faintly.
"So," he murmured to himself quietly, "this is where you've been staying huh,"
The plaza around him bustled with life, humans passing by without giving the tall traveler a second glance.
Jax took one final look toward the towering cathedral before turning and walking toward the inner district, using magic to make people ignore him moving through potentially restricted zones.
The deeper he moved into the capital, the heavier the divine influence became. Golden runes glowed faintly along the streets. Holy wards shimmered across rooftops.
