Spreading Awareness

Alex started fearing; he knew what this feeling meant for not just him, but the empire itself.

He looked outside. This time, the feeling felt like it came from the southeast rather than just the south. 

'What's there to give me this feeling? It's completely different from the one from the desert, and yet I feel it so clearly,' he thought. 

'No, now is not the time to ponder on these things. I need to hurry up and do something or else the beasts will attack the caravan.' 

He immediately took out his talisman that was meant to message his master. He hoped it was close enough for him to reach, but unfortunately, it didn't. He had come too far away for the low-range communication talisman to function. 

He looked towards his senior sister who was still emotionless except for the tinge of sadness in her eyes. 

"Sister, I need your help." Alex stood up and walked over next to her.
