The air was thick with tension, charged with whispers and a latent power he had only glimpsed in fragments during his previous trials. Mafungashe appeared beside him without a sound, eyes narrowed, voice low. “The shadow has risen,” he said quietly. “It is a manifestation of Sipho’s legacy — unchecked, chaotic, and drawn to the weaknesses of the empire.
