Arriving at the first floor of General Drake's pagoda, Andrew found several familiar faces already assembled in the hall.
Princess Isabelle Dartolonia stood with her usual calm and regal air, her presence commanding respect. Nearby was Helen Galahad, the fiery red-haired sorceress from the Galahad Family, her gaze determined and spirited.
Thomas Drake and Eleanor Ravenswood, lightning sorcerers from other ancient hidden sorcerer families, also stood ready, their expressions solemn. These were some of Andrew's colleagues from the recent battle against the demons, and it seemed they would be teaming up again.
In addition to them, there was Gideon Pyre, a rank-four saint sorcerer Andrew knew well, along with two more rank-two sorcerers and a rank-three sorcerer. The team was small, but their combined skills and abilities would allow them to operate quietly and effectively.
