Falling to the ground shortly after the finger rolled off, Elithira caught Jalen before he could faceplant. She put a hand over his head, whispering, "It's going to be okay."
Her vision suddenly disoriented, she almost fell over herself. Nana rushed over, her face filled with concern. "Lady Elithira, are you okay?! What happened to you, and who is this exactly?"
General Mattison walked up, nodding as sweat beaded down his forehead. "Yeah, what is actually going on here and where did the King go?"
Elithira fell to a sitting position, rubbing her shoulders and eyes, trying to straighten herself up. "I'm not entirely sure, but I would guess Erebos tricked your king into thinking he was on his side."
General Mattison clenched his fist, frustration evident in his voice. "How do I know who to trust here?"
Suddenly, a voice cracked behind him as Sanguina spoke up. "Sadly, Erebos is not to be trusted. He is damaged right now from a loss."
