The news shocked Erend harder than anything he'd ever heard. His eyes widened as he looked at Aurdis who had just given the news.
"What are you talking about?" Erend looked at Aurdis. Making sure that what he heard was the truth.
Aurdis returned Erend's gaze with her eyes that were no less anxious. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have sent them off."
"Where are they now?" Erend asked. His voice began to tremble.
"The elves driving the carriage said they were ambushed in the Three Paths," Aurdis replied.
"Where's that?" Erend demanded.
Aurdis bit her lip. Her face was nervous and scared. "You should rest first. You've fought hard enough."
"Aurdis," Erend said. His voice was flat but Aurdis can feel his anger boiling. "Tell me where it is now. I don't have time to rest. You know that."
Aurdis saw Erend's cold eyes. Then at a glance, his eyes changed. His pupils were vertical-like beast eyes with a striking red and orange color.
