More Problem

The room grew heavy with silence after Saeldir, Arlyn, Sylra, and Vael finished recounting what they had seen in the other world where Laston resided. King Fairon clenched his fists, his gaze fixed downward as if searching for an answer within the marble floor. Beside him, King Gulben could only grit his teeth.

This was a disaster. Even just minutes before the five scouts had returned, Aurdis had already reported that dozens—perhaps even hundreds—of metal birds were stationed in the skies just a few kilometers from the palace.

That meant Laston had already positioned his army here, ready to attack at his command.

The two kings could only ponder in silence, fully aware of the dire situation they now faced. Too much was happening, and it was all because of an enemy more dangerous than they had ever imagined.
