Letter from Aurelith #5: The Scholar Who Was Always Late

In every university, there is a scholar who lives between the lines.

The one who notices what others overlook.
The one who follows questions down forgotten paths.

Dr. Martin Whitaker was that scholar.

He could lose himself in a single fragment of stone, a faded inscription, or a map no one else believed in. Time simply slipped away from him when the past called his name.

He was late to lectures.
Late to meetings.
Late to supper.
But he was always right on time for discovery.

Aurelith is fortunate to have had such curious souls walking its streets and its ruins.

Sometimes, though… curiosity opens doors that should have remained closed.
