All while Ulric inspected the two of them, Kael and the figure beside him appraised the dark-robed youth as well.
With every second that passed, the glint of surprise in their eyes only deepened.
For such a small city, and for someone so young, to wield a flying skill, and a relatively high-ranked one at that, was indeed surprising.
So much so that even Kael couldn't help but feel a little envy. And with good reason. Flight skills were exceedingly rare. The few that existed were either too weak, extremely high-level and out of reach, or required absurd conditions before one could even wield them.
It would be a lie to say the thought of rushing forward and extorting the flight skill from the youth hadn't crossed his mind. It was simply too valuable.
The only thing that had initially stopped him was the boldness the youth exuded. Anyone with a measure of intelligence would know this wouldn't end well.
