Adrius proposed an idea that immediately caught the interest of Erend, Adrien, Billy, and Saeldir. They exchanged glances, realizing that this was a great opportunity, one they couldn't afford to miss.
"Do you trust us?" Saeldir asked.
"Of course," Adrius nodded, seemingly without hesitation.
"Oh," Saeldir said. "Alright, then. Do you want to know more?"
"Actually, yes. But it can wait for later. For now, we should rest," Adrius then lay down on the rock.
"Why?" Erend asked. He felt he wasn't tired, and neither were the others. And he was sure that even this Archmage didn't feel tired after spending time inside this cave.
"I know a shortcut to the Astoria kingdom, and the path is not easy. We should rest while we can," Adrius replied.
Erend looked at his friends. "What do you think?"
