章 340: Snatch away

In his office, Stormborne sat gazing out the window, his expression contemplative. There was much on his mind, thoughts swirling about the recent events and the cryptic orders he had received.

"And you have done your part I guess," Falco's voice broke the silence, leaning casually against a nearby bookshelf. He had been traveling extensively throughout the Hestia Empire on his father's errands.

"I have," Stormborne replied quietly, hesitant to voice the questions that weighed heavily on him.

"If there's something, then say it. I'm not as uptight as my father," Falco added, his demeanor relaxed compared to his father, Falkor.

Stormborne hesitated, then finally spoke. "What's happening?"

For the past two years, Stormborne had been entrusted with the care of a human child, Adam Stales, with orders that had recently intensified. There were also mysterious creature attacks and Falkor's directive to watch over the ruins of Ellora.
