Point-of-View: Sylvar Miirphys
———————————————————————————
Today's the 10th of July, and we were just a few hours away from the ritual for the next Fire Sage to be completed. And...things had gotten pretty tense lately. More and more members of the Laus Domain were starting to show concern and unease regarding Sant's questionable decision-making lately.
The eight scouts that he sent to Abyss were nearly all wiped out, and for what? They didn't find out a damn thing except for how a couple of the protective barriers work, but other than that, absolutely nothing of value.
I was currently with Esta, the sole survivor of that suicide mission, and ever since she got back, she'd been pretty downcast. Primarily out of guilt for being the only one to come back, but another big part of it was that Sant had commanded only her to retreat.
