In the secret chamber of Zoran, Mineah paced back and forth, her patience wearing thin as she anxiously waited with Dani, Krisha, and Zaila.
"What's taking them so long?" Mineah muttered with a sigh. She was trying her best to remain calm. It was already dawn, yet there was still no sign of Nikolai or her brother Eziekel.
"I'm sure they will arrive soon, your Majesty, " Dani reassured, attempting to ease her worries. Mineah reluctantly returned to her seat under Zaila's guidance.
She found herself silently praying for their safe return, a knot of anxiety coiled in her chest. The wait felt never-ending until, suddenly, she sensed the familiar presence of Zoran's teleportation spell. Her eyes lit up, and she shot up from her seat as a portal opened before her.
"Lai," she whispered. Her eyes stayed fixed on the portal as she watched Zoran emerge from it before swiftly vanishing.
