Alden, Neo, Owen, and Chloe had gathered in Arach's room.
"Arach, what do we do?" Alden asked. "The Dean came to our room and said that Elttil's beast was free."
"I-It's too dangerous," Owen spoke in worry. "I-It's better if we don't go."
Arach pondered for a few moments. "The situation is too unclear. We don't know if they had dealt with the beast. We can only wait till morning and ask Kai for information."
"What if the beast escaped?" Neo asked.
"I don't know. It's safer to remain in the city." Arach looked at Alden. "But the final decision is yours."
Everyone turned and looked at Alden.
His expression death serious and in deep thought. "We'll see how the situation is in the morning."
