After some discussion, they finalized the plan. John, Elaria, and Lily would enter the royal city to gather more intelligence and attempt to push the main quest forward, while Exiled Immortal would stay outside to provide support if needed.
Among the four of them, only Exiled Immortal was entirely unfamiliar with healing methods, making him the ideal choice for the support role.
"That's settled then. We'll head to the royal city shortly. Once we're inside, Exiled Immortal, you stay in the inner city and continue gathering information," John instructed.
"Got it, John. You all be careful."
It was clear that the royal city would be a dangerous place, teeming with Atlantis' top warriors. If any trouble arose, John and his companions could quickly find themselves surrounded. Having someone on the outside ready to help could be crucial.
