"I'm here!" replied the hero. "Sorry, we were finishing up our conference and I had to step out before responding."
"Don't worry, you're fine. I'm glad we managed to connect our crystals during all of that," Lyrun laughed. The Elf God let loose a long sigh as he looked about his room. It was grandiose and luxurious yet it felt more like a prison with each passing day.
"Thanks for shielding me from your attack. It was much more powerful than I expected," Jack chuckled.
Lyrun nodded. "Don't think anything of it. Considering our agreement, it was the best course of action. It was your idea to use a blinding attack which would allow me to shield you without anyone noticing."
"So, now that the first phase of the plan is complete, are you ready for phase two or will you need some more time?"
