>>5462700Following a tip given to you by the phantom stranger through Spectre, you were currently taking an all-expense paid trip to Gotham City. From what Phantom Stranger had to tell you, your grimoire was currently in the hands of vampire Nocturna and the wandering specter Gentleman Ghost. With the way he phrased it however, it sounds like they were working for a much bigger fish. Who that person was you had no idea but given the connection, you couldn’t drop your guard.
As well as the ties are tying it to the Lazarus Pit. The grimoire holds secrets correlating to the primordial waters, including how to purify the waters and make a cosmic ocean or otherwise call the Well of Sin. It also held secrets relating to the Celestial Comet, a radioactive meteorite that landed on earth millions of years ago. The same rock that gave Vandal Savage among others their powers. It could be the root of all superhuman/metahuman activity on earth.
From the knowledge he gave you, both this and the Markovia incident were tested for you. Of which were necessary to see your current level of competency. Along with seeing your capacity as a capacitor and how good your cache capabilities are. It was one thing to be drafted, it’s a whole other thing to live up to the expectation and reaffirm their suspicions. Of whether or not you were a chosen one anointed by fate or just a living enigma/walking anomaly.
Truthfully none of that mattered to you, that was future Sarena’s problem. Right now, you just want to get back your family heirloom above all else. It was the primary reason why you took the Phantom Stranger’s charity and offered to change chance into an opportunity. For now, you can treat him as a distant ally despite his motives being shrouded in mystery. Which was more than enough to not be suspicious about the whereabouts of the Grimoire. You have the best proof on you for verification.
Arriving now in Gotham by train, you take a moment to close your eyes and clear your thoughts. One of the skills you learned from your training was how to sense various forms of energy and signatures. So, by sharpening your focus you begin to isolate all the other readings, leaving just the one to track. You could feel a strong presence within the dark, gothic city. It was a similar wavelength towards your aura, specifically the divine prominence. There was no doubt about it, the grimoire was in fact within this city.
