"What's going on? What were you running from?" Eris asked urgently. She tried to see through behind Austin but found nothing there.
Austin felt a bit relieved hearing Eris's voice and sighed. "After you left, something happened."
He proceeded to recount his encounter with the mysterious object, starting from the moment the murloc's corpse began to undergo anomaly.
After he told her the story, there was a moment of silence before Eris spoke up thoughtfully. "Mystical gear..."
"Hey, all I've heard for the past hour is your complaining. If you're not happy with it, feel free to cook it yourself," Austin snapped, his patience wearing thin.
"I don't want to. My face will be stained with ashes," Alysia replied.
"Then stop complaining if you're not willing to do anything about it," Austin snorted and continued to roast another batch of meat.
"Sorry?"
