He needed to talk to Van Dyke and Fischer and explain the situation.

Erik left the room with Emma inside the room. Of course, she soon left to call for a healer.

Erik walked down the hall and spotted one of the Red Palace's teachers. Few knew about Erik's return to New Alexandria and his current involvement in the rebellion; luckily, the spy was not aware of that.
