After a heated argument, King Foraan stormed out of the room. Following his orders, a group of older men quickly gathered the young ones. With the circumstances, they couldn't keep things hidden from the kids.
As the floating ship approached the East Continent, King Foraan stood before the group of youngsters. Many other older individuals and Elder Han stood silently by his side.
He cleared his throat, wearing a solemn expression, to quiet down the faint whispers and voices.
Once again, he felt a swell of pride seeing the number of people who had returned alive. His eyes flickered with various emotions. The kids had just survived such a big hurdle, and now he and the others were about to put them in danger again.
"I'm really proud of all of you. It's amazing to see so many talented people right here. I know you all want to go back and see your families and friends. But, I have some news... and it's not good, I'm afraid."
