Night.
Knock! Knock!
A knock sounded on the door.
It was still early, so Neo, Owen, and Alden were meditating.
They opened their eyes and looked at each other.
Alden and Neo got on guard and walked to the door. There was no danger to them in the city. Matthew was dead, and Elttil was out of the city, but it remained a habit to get on guard when someone knocked on the door.
Swoosh!
They opened the door abruptly, ready to pounce on whoever was at the door.
"Arach?" They looked at the person standing on the door.
It was the first time Arach had ever come to their room.
"Did something happen?" Alden asked.
Neo thought so too. Otherwise, why would Arach come?
"Nothing important. I just came to tell you I'm leaving the city. I'm going on a mission."
"What?" Alden exclaimed.
It came as a surprise. Arach had never previously mentioned going outside the city.
