A Man Like None Other

Though Jared didn’t fully understand how the draconic essence in his possession maintained its link to Cyanna, he allowed it to absorb the aura on its own.

He knew he’d eventually rely on this essence to find Cyanna and the others, as well as to locate the Demon Seal Tower-a place filled with sealed Draconians.

This tower held the key to Jared’s mission. He needed to confront its master and uncover the truth behind their grudge against the Draconians.

The following morning, Jared sought out Owen to inform him of his intention to take Scarlette back to Allardland. He had promised Cedric, and he intended to honor that promise.

Owen didn’t object, but he voiced one lingering concern-Keegan of Quinlan Town.

Though Harvey was gone and Quinlan Town wasn’t particularly strong, they were supported by the powerful Demon Seal Alliance. If Keegan decided to cause trouble for Castenada Town, it could spell disaster.

“Then I’ll take care of the Quinlan family,” Jared said firmly. “This way, you can live without worry.”

Without another word, Jared vanished in a flash.
