Encroaching Darkness

Nearly five years after their escape from the dungeon, Adelia, Blasa, Tam, and Once have found a home with Tam's family. Happiness and hope surround them, but in the back of their minds burn questions that were never answered. Why them? Why did they survive when countless others didn't? What made them so special?

For Blasa, her questions revolve around her mother's near-death experience and almost fatal fight of five years ago. What happened? Who hurt her? Why? What's stopping them from coming back and hurting her again? Blasa feels that it has something to do with the vision she'd had of the blonde man with a knife. While everyone seems to walk on eggshells whenever she asks about the events of that day, her frustration continues to grow.

Once, the old Seer who had lost his name over fifty years in the dungeon, can see in his friends the questions they have and how those questions haunt them. When he looks at Blasa, he sees potential far beyond the questions that plague her. He also sees the answers to his own questions and those of the others in the young girl with white magic.
