Uzana appeared in his path, their eyes locking for a fleeting moment before Ragnar continued past him in silence.

Uzana's gaze followed him, a tumult of emotions churning within him, from frustration to worry, as he realized the gravity of the situation now entrusted to Ragnar's judgment.

Ragnar halted his steps, his back still turned. "Isn't it true that you failed to create the elixir to modify the DNA of the child from the union of Gamaaloth and the Healer?" he retorted, his tone cutting.

Uzana remained silent, unable to refute the accusation.
