Goodbye (1)

All of these thoughts and all of these assumptions. Made Erik think.

"I wonder…"

"I wonder what, Master?"

"I wonder how, dad, the blackguards... How did they travel through the Mur continent if this is the situation?"

Erik leaned back in his chair, contemplating what his father had said. "The Blackguards survived in Mur, yet a single Hevadrin nearly killed me."

June's brow furrowed. "It is curious. The creatures there are immensely powerful, according to what we know. I can't imagine how even the Blackguards got through such a place. Maybe there aren't only monsters as strong as wyverns or the Hevadrin you faced, but the strength of the stragglers that arrived on Mannard was high."

"Something isn't adding up." Erik rose and began pacing the room.
