"What do you mean, little child?" Sehaliya asked in great surprise.
"Just follow the Ghouls, and you will find your answer," Arin replied.
Sehaliya did not argue any further.
The strange entourage of a Succubus, two Ghouls, four Orc children, and three Lizardmen children proceeded to their destination.
After sending them off, Arin and Ragna decided to address the issue at hand.
The once beautiful and picturesque village was no more. It now resembled the ruined village Arin had first seen in his vision on the night before they arrived.
Arin now understood why the Dread Father had commanded him to search the tomb. The deity wanted his earnest devotee, his priestess to be freed from her bondage and torment —by the hand of his Champion.
Arin felt proud of himself. He wasn't sure if this was mere imagination or if it was real, but it felt as though the Dread Father was proud of him too.
