The Road Forward is Open for Passage 02: Pilgrims and Pawns.

The road away from home is rarely simple, especially when you’re carrying the weight of a legendary legacy—and a mandated babysitter in polished armor.

In Passage 02: Pilgrims and Pawns, the journey truly begins. Fresh off the removal of her Mako-dampening restraints, Kimya Beowulf steps beyond the safety of her family’s estate and straight into a world brimming with rising tension, military propaganda, and paranoid mobs. But as political unrest boils over in the mountain town of Eukiah, Kimya isn't the only one moving through the shadows.

A mysterious band of "student pilgrims" is making their own quiet getaway, leaving behind clever illusions, unpaid debts of respect, and a trail of questions. When paths cross around a mountain campfire, masks remain firmly in place—but in a world driven by raw Will, hidden motives, and secretive magic, no cover story stays perfect for long.

What to Expect in This Chapter:

• Family Ties & Warlord Secrets: A look inside the Beowulf estate, complete with sharp family banter, heavy legacies, and quiet wagers behind closed doors.

• Tension in Eukiah: High-contrast propaganda, angry townsfolk, and a display of raw Will power that comes at a painful price.

• Witty Illusions & Campfire Encounters: Perception magic, covert rogue tactics, and a late-night encounter where nothing is quite as simple as it seems.

Who are these travelers? What is Cadet Voss’s true mandate? And how long can secrets stay buried under the mountain fog?
