Lucky for the traveling trio, they were able to find a portal gate that allowed them to return to Kinshearth swiftly. To avoid being found, they did not return straight to the palace.

Laina tapped the pendant around her neck. She had been trying to contact Dante multiple times over the past few days. Yet, he still had not replied. She bit her lip. Was it all a lie? Or was he just busy?
