I listened as Gerod recounted a tale of deception and the looming vampire invasion when Tor Gale just set foot on Hanka Island. With a light chuckle, he narrated how vampires thought they could track Tor, only to be outwitted. For two days, Tor remained hidden, unseen, untouched by their relentless pursuit, and Hanka Islands' rage at their action caused an avalanche and at last, they gave up and left.
As I stepped forward, the truth settled within me as I finally understood how Tor was able to send me messages through Kayne. But before I could voice my thoughts, Gerod's voice cut through the silence, firm yet knowing.
"The magic of the Haven Cave," he says, "enabled Kayne's and Gale's mind link to reach out to each other."
I nodded in understanding but could not ignore the unease clawing at my chest. "Thank you, Gerod," I replied but my voice laced with worry. "But what about Tor? Is he okay?"
