After awakening, the divine mages, along with Chris and Andrius' group, returned to the camp to reunite with the other expedition members.
"Can we use your portal to go to Kurzen now?" Chris inquired of one of the elder mages.
"Not yet. We've been sleeping for centuries and must gather sufficient mana before confronting the demon army. We should stay somewhere safe while we regenerate our magic and secure provisions. We cannot engage in battle on empty stomachs," the elder responded.
"He's right, Christopher," Andrius interjected. "We also need to retrieve the other soldiers and mages stationed at Blackhart Castle. Since we haven't briefed the divine mages on our battle plans, we shouldn't rush."
"I understand your urgency to rescue Elsa, and I share the same concern for her and Milda. However, we must calibrate our actions with everyone first," Andrius continued.
