Eldrian did not ask Zamia what she meant. He felt he had quite a good idea as he looked at the air which was still visibly vibrating.
'Why are you not going with them?' Eldrian asked as the air started returning to normal.
'Someone needs to stay here and make sure that it is safe.'
They stayed next to each other for a few minutes, in silence. Finally Zamia asked, 'Are you ready to share what you kept from us?'
'It is hard to explain, I don't even fully understand.' Eldrian replied, wondering how far he should go to explain things,
'Just try.'
Eldrian did, first trying to explain things himself, quickly finding that this took a great deal of effort. So he skipped most things and focused on the core things he knew. Things like the fact that the monster invasion would last far longer than normal, maybe even forever.
