Ethan heard the unfamiliar voice echo within his mind. The voice was unlike anything he had ever encountered. It was vast, ancient, and eternal. It seemed to transcend every concept he knew. He could not determine whether it belonged to a man or a woman. In fact, it felt as though such distinctions were meaningless to the being speaking to him.
The voice carried an indescribable authority. It was not merely powerful. It sounded as if it stood above power itself. Every word resonated through his soul and shook the very foundation of his existence. For a brief moment, Ethan simply listened in silence. Then he focused on one particular part of the message.
"Lord or Subject?" His eyes narrowed. "Lord or a Subject, huh?" he muttered. A grin slowly appeared on his face. "Before I choose, tell me what exactly those mean."
