Clyde, Samuel, and Leyan stepped through the portal and back into the center of Sivagadh Fortress city.
Clyde face still looks stern. His mind buzzed with the events of the battle. More precisely at the creature's cryptic words that echoing endlessly in his mind.
Samuel stretched his arms, shaking off the tension from the fight. "Alright, I'll round up the rest of the party. Maybe we should report this to the High Council—"
"No," Clyde interrupted sharply, his voice firmer than intended. Both Samuel and Leyan turned to him, startled.
"No?" Samuel repeated, raising an eyebrow.
Clyde crossed his arms and glanced around, ensuring no one else was within earshot. "We can't share this. Not yet. Or we will cause unnecessary attention."
Samuel frowned, his brows knitting together. "Why not? If that thing was the source of the anomaly, the Council needs to know. This could help us prepare for what could happen next."
