Chapter 589: Hearing Hope

Saeldir looked at Erend and Eccar, hesitating as he weighed the situation. He didn't particularly see the necessity of aiding these strangers from another world. Yet, when the Great Calamity had swept upon them, Erend and Eccar had intervened without question despite having no obligation to risk their lives.

That selflessness hadn't been forgotten. If Erend or Eccar chose to help, Saeldir knew he would follow.

"What do you think?" Saeldir asked them, his gaze shifting between the two Dragonborn.

Erend crossed his arms, his brow furrowing as he considered the prospect.

"We'll need to do a recon first," he said with decisive tone. "We must understand the real problem and the situation before doing anything else."

Elena leaned forward, eyes wide with hope. "Does that mean you'll help us?" Her voice was tentative, as if afraid to let herself believe it.
