"Can you tell me why?"
I asked, settling into a more comfortable position among the bone fragments. Because I had a feeling this was going to be a long and important conversation.
Zephyr glanced at me for a moment and nodded slowly. "Since Master brought you here, he probably wanted you to hear it as well."
He was quiet for a moment, organizing his thoughts before speaking again.
"Do you know about the Void Cascade?" he asked, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "It happened during the late Convergence Era, just before the great Fracture."
I shook my head.
The name was completely unfamiliar to me, though something about it sent a chill down my spine.
"I thought so," Zephyr continued. "It's not something they teach in academies or mention in history books. Most records of it were deliberately destroyed or sealed away."
"This place... It's one of the scars left behind from that event."
