Hela returned to the camp.
But by this point, it was empty of anyone.
Hela was certain that the spot where she now stood was the exact location of a tent once, but as she looked around, all she saw was dirt and grass.
She couldn't even see any trace of where people had once camped.
Had they moved? Or had she not yet reached the true hiding place of the camp?
Red Heart Queen was an extremely powerful witch; perhaps Hela needed to use some special method to reach the real camp.
The sphere in her eye socket disappeared, and the blue glow lingered on.
Hela couldn't see any trace of the camp.
Maybe she was too weak, or perhaps they were indeed gone.
It's possible that the method she used to communicate with the guard during their last encounter wouldn't work this time.
But Hela didn't have to do that.
This time, she had no one beside her.
She gently leaped.
And then she soared into the air.
