"Because I don't have to wonder if it'll work."
Draven stared at him for a second longer before scoffing. "Tch. Whatever you say, Sword Demon."
Lucavion turned his head slightly, his usual smirk settling back into place. "Now, when do we start?"
Draven exhaled, rolling his shoulders before reaching into his coat. "Ah, that…" He pulled out a folded piece of parchment, handing it over. "Here. Take this."
Lucavion took the paper, unfolding it with a flick of his wrist. His sharp eyes scanned the surface, and he let out a soft chuckle. "Emberwood Summoning Paper?"
Draven nodded. "Yeah."
A common artifact, but a useful one. Made from the bark of Emberwood trees—one of the few naturally magical flora known to exist—it had a unique property. When one side of the parchment was burned, its twin—no matter how far away—would ignite at the same time. A simple, reliable way to send an urgent summons.
Lucavion twirled the parchment between his fingers. "Convenient."
