Under the orders of Norgrim the headmaster, one particular student, William, was using his variant powers to locate Jay, but after using up all of his mana, had little progress. For now, he knew as much as the mage hunters did, which was that Jay was somewhere in Hollow forest; the time dilation of the dungeon Jay was in interfered with his spy type variant magic.
A third group was tracking Jay, too. A novice cohort of bounty hunters: Estra, Linc and Vanderby. Along with many other bounty hunters, they were after the gold reward placed on Jay, totaling three-hundred thousand gold. Dead or alive.
Yet none of that would matter if Jay couldn’t escape this dungeon.
