Katie ran towards the village and I followed slowly behind. I could have shown myself to the villagers but it would have led to more fear, questions, and who knew if they'd even listen to me. They could all very well just run away, thinking I was part of the raiders. Kaite, on the other hand, lived in the village and hopefully, she could calm them down, and then I could get my answers and be on my way.
From the bonds, I could feel that Sandra hadn't moved further away or closer. She was still in the same position. With Misty and Zirani it was different. They were far fainter and at a much greater distance. Whatever that alchemist had done, had sent us not just to another world, but separated us.
If I found him, then after getting my answers, he was dead. What the hell had he even been trying to do? Had he been trying to go to another world, or open a portal? Something had gone wrong. And what were the Red Ribbons getting out of this?
