About two hours ago.
Before Benjamin was surrounded, before the flame appeared in midair. It was nighttime in the Town of Crewe, the area around the Crusader Gateway was quiet; it was going to be closing time soon and the guard was doing the final rounds before their break.
"Hey, do you really think we can do this?"
Hidden in a tree not too far away from the gateway, a man and a woman, both mages, were quietly observing the activity around the gateway. The man’s expression showed that he was hesitant, looking at the majestic gateway, he couldn’t help himself and so he he said softly.
‘Andy, you have no balls." The girl turned her head and glared at him, "Sir Benjamin already said, this is our only chance. Andrew is a traitor! If we doubt it any further, we will all be killed but the church."
When Andy heard this, he sighed and looked back to the gateway, not saying another word.
She was right, this was their only chance.
Chance…
