Meanwhile, Joe made his way to Marl's cabin. He entered without bothering to knock or announce himself. This caught Marl off guard as he was in the middle of mixing potions. Marl jumped back from the shock of an unexpected visitor, dropping his mixtures onto the floor. As the vials broke their contents mixed and released a pink smoke that filled the room. "We have to get out!" Marl yelled as he ran towards the door. "Do your best not to breathe in any of the smoke!" Joe quickly exited on Marl's advice.
"What were you doing in there, mage?" Joe said, taking a moment to study Marl's appearance. Something seemed off but Joe was unable to pinpoint exactly what it was. "Yuna would be upset if something were to happen to you. Please be careful."
I wonder what kind of horrible events have just been set in motion...
