Hao Xuan was standing in front of a stone platform tinkering with some engraved tiles when Arthur, Malina, Olav, and Gamil entered.
"Master, you called?"
They looked to the sides where the four warders were sitting cross-legged in each corner of the room with their eyes closed. Hao Xuan continued fiddling with the stone tiles for a couple of minutes before he finally turned around to face them.
"Hmm, I have to go return to the other world now."
Their expressions turned grim and Arthur quickly stepped forward.
"I will accompany you. I am ready-"
"No, you're not," Hao Xuan cut him off flatly.
Arthur was the leader of all the Orcs when Hao Xuan wasn't around so he normally treated him as an equal in front of them but now wasn't the time to be gentle.
"You're not ready, not yet. You need to be stronger, much stronger if you want to have my back."
