Outside the Omega Stronghold was cool, with the faint mist rolling across the stone path that had been laid out to connect to New Genesis Shelter.
Well, winter was coming, so the cold wasn't surprising.
Merlin and Alex had only just stepped beyond the gates when the cloaked figure revealed himself.
"Mhmm? Necromancer?" Merlin muttered.
Apparently, Asad, the Necromancer, was there waiting for them. His black robes were iconic since it was only used by Dark Mages…
Furthermore, because of his Necromancy, his eyes had some unnatural light. Still, a smile spread across his face, and it was strangely warm.
"At last," Asad said with a smile.
"The old mage himself. I've waited a long time to see you."
Merlin tilted his head, with his staff resting lightly against the ground. "You sound really happy."
