The sun was setting hours after the departure of the exploration group and Elder Sud was enjoying a leisurely bath. He was needless to say rather glad to be put in charge of something so simple and safe.
It was then that he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Sudryal!" A water mage shouted causing Sud to put on a slight grimace. He was still not used to being called so informally.
"What is it?" Sud asked the agitated water mage calmly.
"Alolvi and a few others have returned injured!" Hearing this news, however, Sudryal had to put aside any silly thoughts.
"What happened? Take me to Ed" Sud said as he exited the calming bath. The water mage nodded and led Sud outside the room. They were now traversing what was called the main hall of the Bloodhaven refuge base.
Hey guys, sorry for the unannounced break. I wont lie to you, it was a result of writers block. I didn't really know how to follow up the previous chapter. I think I did it justice, you can be the judge, however. I dont know if the hints add up in the end. I'd like to think Sudryal's acting so far does in fact corroborate what I ended up writing. I re-read some chapters to make sure of it but idk, maybe I'm just too critical.
Thanks for reading~!
