When Lord Winter saw the blood-coloured handle and the entire length of the sword neatly sheathed, his pupils trembled.
He recalled the vision he had seen when he used foresight and peered into the future—this very sword had been on Asher's waist!
Did this mean that sending him to the spirit world hadn't altered the future, but instead brought Asher one step closer to it?!
If someone observed Lord Winter closely, they would see that his fingers, which were wrapped around the staff, were trembling violently.
Asher was already a saintly being. That left only the Imperial, Ancient and finally the Exalted ran before he ascended into the ranks of the Awoken Ones. And considering his powerful talent, Lord Winter doubted that day was much far from now.
Did it mean something would happen during this period that would make Asher even colder than the broken man who had arrived here?!
