Calling this situation a headache would be a massive understatement...
If Cedric's discoveries were to be true, the entirety of Black Thread City is at stake here.
Arishem was pacing back and forth. Clearly, he was stressed about this entire thing. He already called in some people that could help them with this situation but it's gonna take them some time before they arrive.
Surprisingly, Erica and her team were also here.
As it turns out, Arishem was the one who informed them about what happened to them. Arishem was also the one who gave them the runes Cedric created that saved them.
Normally, he shouldn't be able to do this. This team just got back from an expedition and they earned their vacation until their next project was issued.
