The Castor faction, which was at the height of its power before I lost consciousness, had shrunk significantly in just ten days… and they even lost their flag.
I glanced at Darrow as he walked to the center of the hall, stopping directly in front of me. "Looks like you've finally woken up."

He smiled slightly, then stepped forward and handed me the Castor faction's flag. "These prisoners have some value. As for the rest, they either managed to escape or..."
He stepped aside, and our soldiers surrounded the prisoners from all sides, giving me a better view of them.
Three water mages, five fire mages, a handful of warriors...
And then there was the girl at the end of the line—someone I recognized instantly.
Villa Han, my classmate from the elite class and an exceptionally talented air mage. Unfortunately, it seemed she hadn't managed to escape from Darrow.
