Kilna had died. She was certain of it. Her soul had been shattered and darkness closed in. She was more humiliated than angry at Aldar's betrayal but she was angry at herself. She prided herself on seeing the weakness in all foes.
Even in a simple duel for fun she took it seriously.
Yet Aldar had slipped past her until the last moment. The man was meticulous and sharp even at his advanced age. She had hoped to be there at the end and give him a warrior's death.
Yet when she had sought him out due to the unbelievable effects of the tribulation, she hoped to see him breakthrough. It was the best time but he was not where he was supposed to be.
He was in fact supposed to be in a tent monitoring the reports coming in yet it was empty. His disciples knew nothing and they tried to reach out to the other ancestor with them but nothing worked.
They found her corpse not long after and then found Aldar carefully moving towards Lind Frey!
