The day after Lucien left for Cleardale, Kalin woke up and made himself breakfast and readied himself for the day ahead.
He exited his house, locked the door behind him, and headed down his usual route to get to the Helix guild.
As he walked, he felt rumbling beneath his feet.
‘That’s becoming more and more frequent. I wonder if it’s those idiots fighting amongst each other…’
Kalin turned a corner to see a brawl between two guilds, each with three members, fighting against each other. One team of three was from the Hellthorn guild while the other was from the Hallowwell guild. A knight, assassin, and archer were from the Hellthorn guild while a healer, mage and assassin fought from the Hallowwell guild.<

… 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.”“Also, sir. Do you remember Kalin’s friend? Was his name Lucien Verglas?”“Yes, that’s right. Why do you as

‘I didn’t think that would happen.’Lucien looked down at the three spears that managed to pierce into his body as blood dribbled out of his mouth.‘Damn!’The Helix guild master quickly retrieved his brother and carried him a distance away from Lucien and laid him down on the floor as he continued to cough and gather his breath.After getting some fresh air into his lungs, the Hellthorn master looked at his brother in disbelief, “You would care if I died?”The Helix guild master continued to watch Lucien carefully as he answered, “Of course, you’re my brother, my flesh and blood.”
