Aerchon exchanged glances with Saeldir, while Billy exchanged glances with Adrien. Their gazes indicated one thing, and that is confusion.

"Did he just call Erend his brother?" Billy asked in a muttering tone to Adrien.

"I heard that too," Adrien replied.

"We have to talk to him. Can you call him?" Aurdis repeated her words as the man looked suspiciously.

"Wait." The man then disappeared from the rift. Aurdis, Billy, Adrien, Aerchon, and Saeldir waited in curiosity and anticipation. About a minute later the man's face reappeared in the rift. "Here he is."

Afterward, Erend's face appeared next to the man with a look of relief.

"We don't have much time." Erend wasted no time in saying what he had to say.

Although Aurdis intended to ask about his condition, she canceled her intention because she felt a rush from Erend's voice.
