As the ant queen danced around Arad, everyone stared down the hole. "Wait! You took him down?" Merlin gasped.
Sena sighed, turning toward her father. "Father, should I..." She paused, seeing him stare into the distance with an empty glare.
Kayden reached to his hilt, opening his six eyes and standing before Cain. "Should I?" Kayden said in a calm voice.
"Nah," Cain replied, shaking his head. "I'm fine. Probably another time."
Kayden stared at him for a second. "Even though I might not be up to the job, you better get something ready."
Cain smiled, "I'm already working on something. Let's hope I finish in time." He started walking away.
"Hoi!" Merlin stared at Cain, "I should just give her the potions, right?"
"Yes, until Arad get back on his feet. Go check on her." He added.
