Aurdis turned away from the window, her face pale with worry. She sprinted across the chamber and reached Aerchon and Saeldir who were still focusing their energies on maintaining the protective dome. The two Elves looked up, sensing her distress before she even spoke.
"Aerchon, Saeldir!" Aurdis said with trembled voice but she steadied herself, forcing calm into her words. "Something bad might be happening right now. The energy from the battle… it's the same as when Erend fought uncle Laston. It's tearing open a connection to the Chaos Realm again!"
Aerchon's eyes widened and Saeldir's expression became grave. They exchanged a fearful glance. Both remembered vividly the last time the veil between the realms had thinned, threatening to merge the Chaos Realm with Erend's world. That battle had nearly cost them everything.
Aerchon clenched his fists, the weight of the realization sinking in.
