The sun was setting over Orario when Freya first saw him.
Disguised as Syr, the barmaid with a warm smile and gentle eyes, she stood outside the Hostess of Fertility, leaning casually against the wall as the last of the dinner crowd trickled in. She didn’t know why she had stepped out at that particular moment. Some instinct had whispered to her—Now.
And then... she saw him.
A boy, perhaps seventeen, walking down the main road, a basket in his hand. Modestly dressed, calm, yet with eyes that held something she couldn’t define. They brushed past each other—only a second, their shoulders nearly touching—and his gaze flicked to hers.
Freya froze.
In that single moment, she saw it. His soul. Vast. Strange. Untethered.
It shimmered like starlight on still water, deep and endless, unlike any soul she’d ever witnessed in this world. There was something foreign about it, like it had slipped into Orario from beyond the veil of reality itself. It wasn’t power that caught her interest, not yet—it was potential. His soul... didn’t belong to this world.
