"What?!" Elder Dean exclaimed in panic.
Hilna shot him a glance, her face a mix of annoyance and unwavering confidence. "It's a minor issue. I've already discerned a solution. Her will is this resilient because of a Hero named Ethan. Thus, our next course of action... Kill the Hero called Ethan!"
"As you command!" The crowd responded in unison.
Stone Rock Harbor.
Inside a room, Ethan sat broodingly, his emotions boiling over as he slammed his fist on the table. "If I find out who took Veronica, they'll pay dearly for it!" he roared.
Victor, standing nearby, remarked, "We've searched extensively, but there's no trace. It's possible Miss Veronica is no longer in Stone Rock Harbor."
Little Fairy Baal stepped forward, trying to console him, "Ethan, as upset as you are about Veronica's disappearance, anger won't help. We should stay calm and think things through."
