Outside the citadel,
Solara had managed to sneak outside with the help of Zui.
They had all sensed a disturbance in their marks which could only mean something was going on with their lord.
No one was told about Hisha's trip to the forest, the only exception being Solara and Alta.
Immediately she felt the ripple sensation, she knew it was the perfect moment to sneak out in search of Hisha.
Without his rule or return, the whole land would be thrown into anarchy, and almost certain that a tyrant ruler from the tribal chiefs would fight and kill one another till there was a victor who would usurp the throne.
'No!' Solara shook her head to the thought and focused ahead.
Looking back at the citadel with a satisfying grin at successfully escaping, she thought about how she could prove her sincerity.
Placing her hand on her chest, a smile began to grow when she realized that she could still feel the presence of his mark–this could only mean that he was still in a stable condition.
