"…help me call out for her. Maybe she'll show up if she hears me… or Wren." Keagan didn't believe that wholeheartedly. Cherie was not dumb. She would know Keagan had come with Nathan and Haukur. Those guys even overtly caught Elijah, who she came with.
The group advanced, nonetheless. Lev, Mariella, and Nathan were left outside to tend to Crystal and the humans. As for having other humans left inside the palace, Keagan could only hope they got out on their own. After all, the palace had given off a rather dangerous feel. The shadows grew long and darker, seemingly drowning them in a puddle of ink. Keagan just beefed through the suffocation.
