"Where am I? What on earth happened, Ian, how did you suddenly come to rescue me?"
Sio apologized with utter confusion, "I'm sorry, although I generally understand the process, it still feels somewhat… sudden."
——Were the dragons captured and then directly locked up here?
Ian blinked. Something odd sprang to mind, "Strange, I thought that after Sio was captured and taken to Avak Laboratory, and after experiencing quite the horrific ordeal, recalling the long past of loneliness and torture, then during the Deceased Monarch's rebellion, he triggered many souls to riot, which sparked the Silent Abyss."
"But from the looks of it, Sio wasn't tortured at all; in fact, he was confined as soon as he was captured, and has been unconscious from beginning to end, with no connection to the collapse of Avak Laboratory at all!"
"Could it really all be the Deceased Monarch's doing?"
