Now (Theo POV)

It's a little less than a year you've been here at the homestead now and in the meantime Sophie has taken up residence in one of the guest chambers. Although you don’t know what the exact deal is it is handy to have her around especially when you need to get to Vale because even with the car it’s still a few hours drive back and forth.
The first time however she dropped you of at the entrance to Vale and waited at the local pub till you were done.
Suddenly your mind jumps to the fact this year is the bicentennial of Mythica as the world is now known. However it's now 250 M because the new calendar started at the emerging of the first Waking Ground 50 years before the founding of Mythica.

And then you snap out of it because you see somebody in the distance approaching the homestead. It is however still too far to make out who it is.
