I snacked on some bread and cheese and dozed off, only for Opal to rouse me just in time for our seventh-hour appointment.
Handling the teleportation on my own, I found myself at the designated spot. The location was a short distance from a throng of people gathered near the imposing cliff, its peak hidden in the clouds. It was much grander than I had imagined. Observing it nearly gave me a crick in the neck. As more individuals kept teleporting in, Opal suddenly gasped and hid inside my cloak.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't you spot them?"
"No, I was observing—"
"Massive Vorgan, just like near NecroGate Falls."
"But we're far from there."
"They beg to differ."
Glancing up, I spotted a few forms occasionally emerging from the clouds, gliding, and then disappearing.
"They move so elegantly, Opal. Admire them."
"I'd rather not. And you can take a long walk off a short pier, Boss."
"Hello there, Viktor." I heard a voice.
