All Hell Break Loose (1)

The outsider who found Cyneah was none other than Flos.

How Flos came to be in Armakea was related to Aran's sudden escape.

Before Aran decided to use a puppet to replace him as he escaped into the underground section of the castle, he reached out to Layla once more. Though he knew it was futile because she had been missing after Filren's failed attempt at apprehending Achim and Kesiah, he still tried. Unfortunately, the communication device Layla gave Aran seemed to have been broken.

Aran, being an overly suspicious person, knew something was amiss. He even had an inkling that Layla's disappearance had something to do with Filren's failure and Achim and Kesiah's sneak attack. However, Aran also considered the possibility that the latter two might have gotten bold with their rebellion because an outsider had reached out to them.
