The 13 elders looked at each other, trying to discern what they were supposed to do here. They were more than surprised by Alex's claim of joining the sect just to leave. One of them was even impressed by his boldness.
"I read that you came from a lower world. Is that incorrect?" the old man with the mole, who seemed to be the leading figure there, asked.
"I did," Alex answered.
"So your family should be there, shouldn't they?" the old man then asked.
"No," Alex answered. "One of my older cousins broke through earlier, so when it was time for her to leave, all of my family went along with them."
The few elders appeared surprised. "Do you know where they even are? If they left with your cousin, they could be anywhere."
Alex nodded. "That is why I need to go to the other realms," he said. "I need to find them."
"How are you certain that they are not here?" the old man asked.
