… A little while later…
“Sir we just got a message from one of the guild members. It turns out the cause of Kalin’s group’s disappearance was Hellthorn. A lot more members of Hellthorn were sent than expected.”
“I see.” The guild master sighed. “If they were able to send such a force that probably means that Hallowwell and Hellthorn have teamed up. That is probably why we haven’t heard from Soren yet either. He probably had to deal with a bigger group that expected as well.”

Lucien awoke and sat up and placed the palm of his hand on his forehead.‘I’m still exhausted, but at least my body doesn’t ache as much anymore…’Removing his hand from his forehead, he looked around, however, the only thing that he could see was a single light source above him.
