Ina called to her master, but there was no response at all. Ina strode closer toward the workshop, her steps measured as she called out once more. "Master, I've brought the person you've been looking for."
Zal, standing a few paces back, felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity build up inside him. Whoever this master was, she had to be someone unusual, considering the floating islands and mystical atmosphere of this place. Still no response came from inside.
Ina sighed and turned to Zal. "She must be wearing earplugs again. Give me a moment." With that, she moved to open the workshop's roller door.
Zal chuckled softly, gesturing for her to go ahead. Just as Ina bent down to pull the door open, Ellen's voice chimed urgently in Zal's mind.
"Warning: I'm detecting rapidly fluctuating energy inside the workshop. Explosion imminent."
