Chapter 10: Everlight Moon Guild
The soft sound of rain on the car windows echoed gently through the half-silent cabin, like an old whisper.
Streetlights passed by the windows, casting flickering light across the seats and their faces. The seats were soft, the air pleasant, and there was a faint scent of new leather.
Daniel sat in the back seat, hands in his pockets, eyes on the road. Next to him, Naya sat calmly, her elbow resting on the window and her fingers touching the cold glass.
Opposite that heavy silence, the driver with a stern face and dark sunglasses drove with full focus. He hadn't said a word since they got in.
"Just woke up?" Naya said out of nowhere.
"My awakening happened two days ago, but why are you asking like that?" Daniel paused for a moment. He wasn't ready for a question like that.
"Well, to be honest, you don't look sixteen. It's rare to see someone awaken at seventeen or eighteen," Naya said, her eyes filled with curious light.
"Well, it was kind of surprising for me too," Daniel chuckled a little.
"If that's the case, then you probably don't know much about the Tower, right?"
"Actually, I do know some things about it."
"Oh? How?" Her tone became even more curious. If Daniel awakened at eighteen, then he shouldn't know much about the Tower.
