Time stood still. The world around them disappeared, as Erik and Runa stared into each other's eyes. Yet, Erik still looked like one of the guards so, despite a strange sense of recognition, Runa still appeared confused.
"W— What did you say…?" she mumbled sceptically. "I don't know you, boy… But I suggest you leave quickly. That woman you know as Lilith is probably already on her way here."
Instantly, Erik frowned and panned his gaze towards the door. "Elora…?"
"I don't know…" the fairy immediately answered sceptically, her omnisense now blasting at full power. "I haven't noticed any warning systems, and those guards weren't connected to Lilith in any way I could tell, but perhaps your mother knows something we don't? Either that, or she just means it as a general warning, rather than specific knowledge."
