The Eldritch One tasked me with stealing one of Syn's stars. The god of time needs it to help me escape the Shadowed Vale. But it didn't give me any idea on where to start. How can anybody hold light?

  But I lucked out after Gugalan opened the last gate inside the Shadowed Citadel for me. There, behind that gate, was the star. Now I just have to take it back to the altar in Sand River Cave.

  Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

  The Eldritch One's plan to use Syn's own power to fuel my escape is kind of ingenious. It's almost something I would come up with myself.

  It occurs to me only now that I don't know why the Eldritch One is helping me. Why do I warrant the attention of Serinor's most powerful god? I should ask when we meet again.
