Third Person's POV
To Aurelia, he had been her childhood playmate, the boy she had always followed around and clung to whenever she got the chance.
They had always known that Ethan possessed extraordinary talent.
They had known he was destined to become powerful.

For the first time, they truly realized just how much he had changed during those eight years they had been separated from him.

They had instinctively tried to rush toward him.
