Sirius and Xander were currently wandering around the academy, with no particular destination in mind. They needed to get away from the others, giving them time to talk in private.
During the time they were still in the dungeon, they had taken down three more rounds of Night Prowlers before they noticed a significant drop in the number of stealthy nightmares lurking in the shadows. The once relentless attacks had slowed, but the toll on their strength was becoming evident. Their reserves of soul essence were running dangerously low, and they knew they'd be in bad shape soon if they kept pushing forward. Fortunately, they hadn't run into any tier-2 creatures during their rounds, so they counted themselves lucky. All in all, it was a decent haul.
