The mission: Your story in London
But she doesn’t have magical powers! You can still feel the smell of her tangerine blossom hair, and a shiver goes down your spine.
A few people are staring at you, and seeing your reflection in a muddy pond on the ground, you can’t blame them.
Taller and thinner than everyone else, with unruly ginger hair and a white beard, you, Theodgar, a wizard of High Order, always draw attention to yourself, even when you’re wearing a grey cardigan and carry a black umbrella like everyone else.
Now, you must find Aylin. It is of the utmost importance. Lately, the Dark Realm has been closer to our world than ever before; you can feel the evil slipping in through the rifts scattered throughout the world. The air itself is charged with dark potential.
