Great Power, They Said

The man hit the ground with an ignoble thump. Andrev scrambled to see if it was all right, Kana on his heels ready to tug him back at the first sign of trouble.

The man sat up, rubbing his head ruefully. When he spoke, his tone was light, but he eyed Rastaban with deep suspicion.

“I wouldn’t have hurt the lad,” he said. “It’s just that I was summoned, and I came to seek my kith and kin.”

“Summoned? By what?” Kana asked.

The man looked her up and down, expression unreadable. “Great power, they said. Great power has risen.”

So this is a minor thing, but Adrev is Tobias right? I was just confused when you switched the names.
