Harrison spoke up with concern in his voice. "My dear students, it appears that Lauren has been whisked away to an unforeseen location through some magical portal. We must do everything in our power to find her and bring her back safely. However, it's already late, and the search can wait until morning. I advise you all to go to sleep for now."
Hazel was worried as she questioned. "But dad, shouldn't we go after her immediately? She could be in danger out there!"
"I understand your concern, Hazel, but traversing through portals can be quite risky. We need to be well-prepared before venturing into the unknown. Rest assured, we'll begin our efforts at the first light of dawn."
