Surprisingly

A smile appeared on Erend's face when he heard her words.

'You say you've come up with a way to do that?' Erend asked, excitement evident in his voice.

'Yes. We searched non-stop last night. I'm even still tired. And suddenly Aerchon found it,' Aurdis replied.

Erend frowned. 'Aerchon? Your brother?'

'Yes. There's only one Aerchon here, Erend. I know you must be shocked to hear that but this is true. Aerchon helped us search through the records of our predecessors. And I tell you, that's a lot of records about the initial process of Magic awakening.'

Erend still frowned in disbelief. Aerchon helped them? It even sounds like a miracle.

'Why would he want to help you? Didn't you say that you're helping me solve the problems in my world?' Erend asked with a suspicious tone.

'Yes. He already knew from the start that Saeldir and I intended to help you.'

'Yeah, but... why is he helping?'
