Renardon Estate
After passing through the academy portal, I was back into the portal station but I don't know what to do next
Thankfully, I didn't have to deal with security checks or awkward introductions. Sykelion had sent me a VIP access pass, which meant I could enter the Renardon Estate without anyone asking questions like "Who are you?" or "Why are you here?" or "Why do you look like trouble?"
Before stepping out fully, I adjusted my eye veil, making sure it sat perfectly. If I was going to deal with high-profile clients, I might as well look mysterious enough to charge triple.
When the portal closed behind me, I found myself standing at the entrance of a massive forest. Tall trees stretched endlessly, their branches swallowing most of the light, leaving only a narrow path that led deeper inside.
I stared at it.
No.
Absolutely not.
There was no way I was walking into that.
