Damion was surprised when he found everyone else coming out of their rooms too. Wasn't Captain Shodan meant to ring the bell if he was summoning them?
One look in the bell's direction cleared Damion's confusion. The bell was no longer there.
Damion's eyes darted around as they gathered. Melruen and Emily stuck together as they moved. There was this thick air around them that made approaching them hard, but who would approach them anyway?
They seemed to have been affected negatively by their encounter with the Eldritch Wyvern, but judging by their demeanor, they didn't seem intent on showing weakness.
Matilda found her way over to Damion's side and gave him a long stare. She blinked her green eyes curiously and asked, 'Where have you been?' she said telepathically.
'In the jungle, fighting for my life,'
'Huh, that's the same thing Kenzo said,' Matilda replied with knitted brows.
'Well he isn't lying.'
