Aengus and Aria reached the cliff where the ancient Dwarves were supposed to be.
But Aengus's expression darkened when he attempted to connect to the barrier and couldn't establish a connection at all.
As the cliff came into view from above, he shook his head in silent fury, his face barely containing his frustration.
They landed steadily at the peak, and he saw no sign of the barrier.
"Where is it, Ethan? All I see is a shadowy jungle below," Aria said, looking at him with doubt. "Or is it only visible to you? Yes, that must be it."
"No," Aengus replied, suppressing his anger. "The barrier is gone, and so are the Dwarves, for some reason."
"Huh? Gone? But you said only you could release them from the barrier, so how could it have disappeared so suddenly?" Aria asked, looking slightly tense.
"I don't know. Give me some time to investigate. But I know one thing: they wouldn't disappoint me for no reason."
