The group awaited news in the chambers reserved by King Elion IV. Lord Alveran had withdrawn to gather more information about the incident.
"That magic… didn't it feel familiar to you?" — asked Drayk, looking directly at Kaelon and Varian.
"The explosion was similar to what happened with the monsters in the forest," — confirmed Kaelon.
"Indeed. The smell and sensation were the same as when I was hit. It was strange to witness it again," — said Varian, her voice slightly shaken by the memory of the past experience.
"Was someone capable of manipulating such magic present, or was it all planned in advance?" — pondered Orzoth.
"If that person was there, they're extremely skilled at hiding. I didn't sense any magical trace," — stated Drayk.
The conversation continued until they noticed the chaos in the castle starting to subside. Soon after, guards knocked at the chamber door.
"Enter!" — authorized the young king.
The door opened, revealing several guards escorting King Elion IV.
