Buried in his work, Hill was really startled.
He had activated the isolation array, so how could something suddenly fall down?
Hill tightened his grip on the magic scroll and peered out the door.
A strange sign had landed on his deck.
Although he didn't know what it was, Hill could tell at a glance that it was from the Kind Alignment.
He blinked, his curiosity getting the best of him, and he stepped outside.
Once he approached the sign, he understood why something had smashed into it.
He could still sense the aftereffects of a dimensional rift.
For some reason, a dimensional rift had opened right on Hill's deck, letting the sign fall through.
Crouched beside it, Hill released various detection spells and discovered that it was indeed an accident; at this point, luck no longer surprised him.
Hill picked up the sign.
Communicating with it was easy, but its identity gave Hill quite a shock.
He couldn't help but slap his face, trying to clear his mind.
