"What...?" Adamar looked around for answers, when he felt the mood change in the room.
"I have met with Lord Elre...and unfortunately, the day after we arrived, he disappeared. We don't know where he is at the moment."
"How can that be!? We were supposed to meet him before heading out to search the area...!" Adamar's career was riding on this meeting. He wanted to be the one to find the tree for the King. How could he allow his glorious return to the capital fade before his eyes.
Grasping at straws, he rushed to Prince Ailwin's side, "Did he leave anything for me!? Anything at all?" Adamar was desparately clinging onto Ailwin's arm, in hope that he could still find something that would lead him towards the tree.
"Well, he did give leave something behind…" Ruven stated, bring everyone's eyes to him.
Thinking this would be the best time to take the tablet from Ailwin's hands Ruven continued to talk.
