Fina. Pentos.

A month later.

- Where are we going today, my lord? - I asked, following Lord Solomon.

- I'm not sure, but something is definitely going to happen today. I can feel it. - He answered, keeping up his pace and passing another shop.

During the first week of his arrival, my lord walked around the temple and studied it. He walked down every corridor and talked to the people, asking them about their lives and service to the Lord of Light.

After that week, Lord Solomon began to explore the city. Sometimes he would just go to what seemed like random places and visit various establishments, listening or studying people. And on some occasions, my lord would leave the city to go out to the sea to admire the scenery or walk around the neighborhood and watch the animals.

Also... Lord Solomon was not what I had imagined him to be. When the Lord of Light told us about my lord, I had a picture in my mind of an old, stern man with a steely gaze and a beard, but seeing him in person and talking to him... I don't know what to say.

I in no way expected to see such a handsome, tall, obliging and kind man. Accompanying him this month, he has become to me something like the sibling I never had.

Just talking to him made my heart feel calmer and my thoughts come to order. It felt like there was no problem I couldn't handle. And our communication changed from formal, that is, maid and master, to something relational.

Remembering the past, I didn't notice that my lord had stopped, and I crashed into his back, starting to fall. But a light breeze caught me and set me on my feet, which I realized was the result of Lord Solomon's magic.

- Careful next time, little Fina. You shouldn't go off on yourself so much. At least when you're going somewhere. - With a smile on his face, Lord Solomon said while looking at me, making me feel embarrassed and nodded briefly.

Shaking off the embarrassment, I looked around, wanting to understand why my lord had stopped, but I was unable to do so. All that caught my eyes were people walking through the streets, shops with merchants, and the sun high in the sky.

- Looking for a reason for my stopping, little Fina? - My lord asked, to which I nodded.

The next moment, I felt my lord's magic flow into me. My eyes seemed to light up for a second, which made me have to close them. And when I opened them and looked around, a sense of intense wonder flashed through my mind.

My eyes could see every wrinkle on people's arms, every bird flying high in the sky and even small insects on tree leaves and building walls.

- The roof of the building ahead.

I obeyed and directed my gaze there. And there I saw a definitely angry Halon, Master Ordello's son, with six men pointing their spears at him and Ordello himself standing in front of them with a serious expression on his face. They were talking about something, but I could see it wasn't going well.

Are they in conflict? Didn't they have an agreement between them?

- What do you plan to do, my lord? - I asked without taking my eyes off the stage.

- After all, it would be foolish to lose such a capable man, wouldn't it? - He answered and snapped his fingers.

My vision was caught in a flash of light, causing me to close my eyes once more for a brief moment. And the next moment, my lord and I found ourselves in the very building where the scene was taking place.

- W-Who are you?! How did you get in here?! - cried out one of the spear wielders who had spotted us.

His shout was heard by the others present and they too turned towards us. Their eyes widened in surprise, but only one of them had a look of recognition in his eyes.
