"What… is Solomon doing here?"
The light emitting from Van slowly dispersed as he stared at the ship that blanketed the entire sky. There was no mistaking it, it was the ship that Athena and the others should be on. Did Pontiff Irin already have them even before coming here?
No. If that was the case, then he would have definitely heard at least something from Athena. So that would mean… her people were able to drag them all the way from their location in the time they've been talking?
"..." No, there was no use thinking about that right now– he had to make sure everyone was safe.
"Before you do anything, I did not harm any of them."
And almost as if reading his mind, Irin spoke up before Van could even take a single step,
"And you also do not need to go to them, I am bringing them all here… completely safe."
