The Cardinals' Shocking Decision

At this moment, another wind blew, distracting everyone away from her glimmering beads of tears that masked her eyes.

Yet the mentor smiled when he saw her tears, patted on her head twice before turning towards William's friends, "let's go! Our window lies when the wind blows. Let's go, keep your distance close from me, and follow my orders to the letter. In my spirit, I vow to protect all of you to the best of my abilities. Let's go!"

Without even realising it, William's friends' impression about that mentor totally changed from south to north!

The mentor acted in this crucial moment as their leader, and his presence and actions, his words and attitude, all gave them hope and weird confidence in their ability to survive, survive long enough until William would return.
