Chapter 235: Spring Rain and the Return of an Old Friend

Thunder rolled across the horizon, deep and resonant.
The air grew heavy, suffused with the scent of damp earth and ozone.
At first, the rain fell in fine, silk-like threads, painting dark, wet spots onto the bluestone slabs. But as the thunder grew more muffled and distant, the drizzle thickened. Dense curtains of rain wove the sky and earth into a single, gray blur.

But here—and specifically now—he had a duty to perform. He had to patrol.
