Ironin warned her, "Don't let Arthur know before we confirm what happened to her."
Zinnia stared at him. She knew he wasn't joking.
"Do you think it will be a good idea? What excuse can we give him?"
Ironin opened his mouth to reply when Darius barged in.
"This is bad. I heard Veronica was shot to death," he announced.
"Weren't you with Arthur?" Zinnia vigilantly asked.
"I was. I came down with Arthur. We asked a few elves. They said two nights ago Veronica tried to leave with an elf child and was shot arrows until she fell on the cliff."
Upon hearing the reply from Darius, the other two exchanged glances. Having a bad foreboding, Zinnia and Ironin dashed out of the tent.
Darius was confused. "Hello? I'm still here?"
Lamenting that no one cared about him, he came out. He spotted his two comrades not too far away.
"Damn it! They are leaving without taking care of the elves. Am I supposed to handle that?"
