It was still dark out when the man showed up to the cliff. Emerald, in a black cloak, was waiting for him.

Emerald looked at the man. "Shall we begin?"

The man nodded. The two walked over to the edge of the words. There, they saw Green meditating. The man spoke to Emerald. "How is it that he isn't detecting your energy?"

"You are not the only one who can hide it."

While Green went along with his daily life, the stranger watched from the side. He saw Green train all of his friends for the upcoming battle. The stranger smiled. "You've taught the kid well".

He watched Green train for a while. And then turned to leave when Emerald grabbed his shoulder.

"He needs to know the truth" the elite said.

"He cannot know. Not yet. If he's anything like me, he'll come search for me. He needs to be here, surrounded by people he cares about. Not be out and about, searching for some old man. With that, the stranger left. Emerald teleported away.
