Jaegar sighed heavily, running his free hand through his hair. "Damn it, you just had to bring me here of all times, now."
"What's so important that it outweighs the flame, boy?" the deity demanded. "I don't know how this labyrinth exists here, in the midst of the city, or how no one noticed it until now. But if the other gods were to learn about this, I'm sure she would rush here immediately."
Jaegar sighed again, feeling a mix of frustration and restlessness. "I don't even know where my master is."
The deity's tone was harsher as he warned him. "I sensed a presence in that tower. There was someone behind closed doors, a very strong woman. If she had come out, you would have died then and there. Be thankful that I saved you."
Jaegar frowned, his mind racing. Could that presence have been his master? But if so, why couldn't he sense her?
