Chapter 100 - [Bonus chapter]Gorg's confession (2)

"And then what happened?" I asked, my tone matching my sombre expression. Gorg hesitated, his eyes clouding over with a mixture of regret and sadness. "We made a foolish decision," he admitted with a heavy sigh. "We moved closer to get a better look at the fight. But then, out of nowhere, one of the warriors lost his concentration and was attacked by a Vylkr  vine." Gorg shook his head in dismay. "It all happened so quickly. They were doing so well, cutting through the vines easily with their weapons. But then, in an instant, everything changed." He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts before continuing. "And by the time we realized what was happening, the warrior had already been dragged across the river. My sister and the other warriors were also too slow to react. But you, you were the only one who responded to his cries for help."
