The Dream God's Corpse Devourer. A young version of Phoebe.
Even if he's just a projection, he wields the power of a Demigod. I can't defeat him without a plan.
Charles frowned, his third eye narrowing.

For now, I need to find the bracelet. Then I'll act.
His eyes lit with resolve.
My next destination is the Library of Sages. But I should return home first. No need to raise suspicions.
