Aether Stones

When Octavia left the room, she had already wiped her tears and held her head high. She tried to retain the pride she had left and even managed to say a curt goodbye to Gaia. 

However, the dark atmosphere around her was indicative of what Orion chose to do. 

Sure enough, Orion and Hilda soon emerged from the upper floors with dire expressions on their faces.

The family couldn't help but look at each other. Hilda's eyes fixed on her husband, and she pursed her lips. 

Otto shook his head. "Will this be alright?" 

Zaol sighed, though also a bit worried. "Orion's leaving soon. Time apart would do well for both of them."

"What are they doing going so far away?" According to the information, they went to both Holt City and Hassen City, with the Lord staying particularly long in the latter.

"Well, Holt City has a lot of aether stones, that could be it." There were very few things that could get a city lord outside for a visit.
