"Are we about a week away from the position Tissaia asked us to reach, aren't we?" a sorcerer asked in the circle of people gathered around.

"Yes... just a bit more, and we'll be there... But we're late... the battle will start soon," another middle-aged man responded.

"Yes... but, you know... I feel like something is strange here... we haven't seen a single animal or monster," another member of the group commented cautiously, finding the situation very unusual.

"Yes... we don't know what's going on, but something is definitely strange here... either way, we need to stay alert," a sorceress replied.

"You all talk too much..." someone interrupted in a bored voice. "I'm going to sleep; there's nothing else to do here anyway," the red-haired woman replied as she walked away.

"As annoying as ever..." Keira muttered next to Triss, watching Coral leave and head toward her tent.

"..." Triss said nothing, her gaze fixed on the forest. At that moment, someone appeared, emerging from the trees and walking toward them. She quickly stood up and prepared a spell.

Naturally, this drew everyone's attention as they turned to see a boy approaching them, dressed in dark, common clothes.

"Who is that?!" one of the sorcerers exclaimed in surprise.

"I set up a detection spell in the area; how could he have gotten past it?!" another sorcerer demanded in an irritated tone, realizing his spell had failed.

"This can't be a mere child... What is this?!" a woman said, alarmed.

Even Coral, who had just laid down on her bed, stood up upon hearing the commotion and murmurs from her companions outside and quickly approached.

"Are you talking about those glowing orbs around the place? It was pretty easy to slip through them... especially since they light up," Madara said, still approaching with a bored tone. He walked past several stones with glowing glyphs on them; it was easy once he saw the numerous cracks in the spell.

"Who are you?!" another mage asked, preparing a spell. Madara's presence clearly aroused suspicion, as they were in the middle of nowhere, and here was a child walking toward them without fear.

Madara finally stopped ten meters away from them. "My name is Madara Uchiha," he simply stated.

"Madara Uchiha...?!" Triss exclaimed, her eyes wide as she recognized the boy's name, seeing him for the first time.

"Who is this... Do you know him?" Keira asked, looking surprised at Triss's reaction.

"I don't know him either, who is he?" another sorcerer asked, equally curious about the boy's identity.

"He's responsible for the deaths of twelve mages and the attempted assassination of the king of Brugge after he controlled one of the mages with some type of mind spell," Coral explained, stepping closer, keeping a cautious eye on the boy, aware that he could kill groups of mages.

"It's true. I had to show what happens when I'm followed," Madara said, admitting it openly, seemingly unconcerned if they hated him.

"Are you here to kill us?!" someone questioned, preparing a spell, as did all those who had been quite calm before. But upon hearing that Madara was responsible for the massacre in Verden, they knew he was dangerous.
