Chris saw a lot of people heading back towards the forest from where they had come on their way to the neighboring village. He inquired, "Why are those people rushing in that direction? Shouldn't we stop them? That part of the forest is engulfed in flames."
A soldier provided an explanation, saying, "Your Highness, those are water mages. This region of Zemaria is home to many water mages. They should be capable of extinguishing the fire. Do you happen to know what caused it?"
Chris hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether or not to disclose the true culprit. Eventually, he replied, "Well, I'm not entirely certain. I was out hunting for food when it happened, and my mate was already injured when I returned."
