Days later…
Kae'lers had arrived in the Kingdom of Solaria, known as the Kingdom of Burning Light.
He knew through his information networks that King Helios had made secret contact with the Kingdom of Kalthar.
Emperor Kraven, that ambitious old man, seemed to want to speed up political negotiations, unlike other kingdoms who preferred to resolve their differences through war.
Kael considered this diplomacy a façade; to him, many of these kings spoke of peace and harmony while secretly plotting alliances and conquests of Aetherion.
Settled into an inn in the capital of Solaria, Kael ended up falling asleep for a few hours.
When he woke up, he felt restless.
Looking at a specific spot in the city, he muttered to himself, "Hmm... something tells me there's an opportunity in that direction."
He left the inn and headed down an alley in the darkest part of town.
Moments later, Kael heard a noise amidst the silence of his footsteps.
