Long Batian exits from his father's hospital room and walks up to Godfrey. He goes to kneel on the ground but is immediately held up by a large pair of hands.
"None of that my friend. Your father is well and that's what matters."
Before he can protest, Godfrey gives him a stern look and shakes his head. Long Batian nods, but resolves in his mind to repay this favour. Godfrey then frowns as he thinks back to the protectors on El'hirn.
'These are related, I am sure of it. My question is, how did they get to Long Aotian so deeply without anyone knowing? His defences are exemplary and he is aware of his own internal situation.'
Godfrey's tablet then rings and brings him back to reality as it materializes from his suit. He answers and sees his grandfather looking the most worried he has ever seen him. Robert quickly relays dire news.
"Godfrey. We are at war."
The young hero almost stumbles and hurriedly asks.
"With who?!"
