"What do you mean by all of you are no longer in Amizanima Forest? Are you saying that Winerva and I are left behind?"
[I mean it as is. A Portal suddenly appeared below us the moment we entered the forest. It teleported us away to the south; now, we are only 2,000 Absitan away from Scentillion City.]
At the information, I stay quiet. I instinctively turn my eyes to Arieda because I am curious how she looks currently.
I can't help immediately turning my eyes away the moment I see her lips tremble in despair. The fact that Eliseus is no longer around must be a lightning strike to the back of her head.
She was hopeful of the situation, but her hope is now crushed by the absurd development. I can't even believe it happened, let alone her.
Still, as unbelievable as it is, there is an explanation for why it happened—Iorael's scheme. I believe Iorael made it happen because he didn't want his plan to take over Lysimork to be interrupted this time.
