Crackle.
The door of one of the four towers opened as a worried Risha ran inside. She returned to the Lower Ring as fast as she could.
Not all Red Bears members were free to enter the captain's chamber, but Risha had some privileges because of who one of the captains was.
"Brother!" she exclaimed, looking at Orel, who sat across from Lorana and Hygon.
The large table was lit only by a few dim lamps, which didn't stop them from thinking, because there was nothing to discuss now. At least not until Risha arrived.
"Hm?" Orel turned around slowly, raising an eyebrow. "What happened?"
"Adam... He's at the Dark Shore!"
Despite Risha's panic and the flood of thoughts that she couldn't stop, Orel, Lorana, and Hygon quickly realized the situation.
Naturally, Risha hoped her brother would help find and rescue Adam, but he was willing to risk himself only for her.
