Chapter 330: Elementia (part four)

By the time Nix arrived back at the Inn a few minutes later, Gideon was sitting quietly with Rhy and Shae. The guild leader of Salamander seemed very pleased to see him and shook his hand excitedly.

"I'm glad to finally have found you, Nix!"

Nix grinned slyly, "the stowaway makes an appearance."

Shae welcomed him with a hug, holding onto his hand after she released him. "How'd it go?"

Nix glanced at Rhy, his face free of expression. "Bad. There are lots of Air and Water Elementals that have already been drained of their essence."

Rhy's dark eyes stared at him. "Is Wilo one of them?"

Nix nodded slowly. "I think so. I didn't find her corpse, but the receiving crystal gave me an indication that her essence has already been drained and stored."

Rhy's eyes shone with emotion; she paused for a long moment. "Whatever you need, Nix, we have to set this right."
