Dune, Hazel, Mindia, Nely, and Atlas sat atop the building, the cool night air brushing past them.
Dune and Nely had the most fragments, so they shared them with Hazel and Mindia, helping them reach a thousand each. Afterward, it was time to discuss their plan.
"Our only way forward is to reach Azrael and either stop or help him kill Zephyrin," Dune said, his voice steady. The group exchanged uncertain glances until Nely finally spoke up.
"Why?" she asked, her tone curious but firm.
Dune sighed, knowing the explanation wouldn't be easy. "Now that Zephyros is dead and was killed by Azrael, Zephyros can't open a portal for us to travel back.
The only one left who can is Zephyrin. But as Zephyros warned, Zephyrin probably won't help us.
So, our best option is to work with Azrael to defeat Zephyrin, destroy this trial, and find a way back."
The group fell into a heavy silence.
