"Everyone be careful,"
Elder Talon Skyler whispered in a low voice,
his gaze as sharp as an eagle's,
continuously scanning the surrounding darkness,
trying to capture any possible threats.
"Yes, Elder Talon Skyler."
His companions responded in unison, their voices low but filled with determination. Everyone knew that in this dangerous and unknown world, any slight rustling might hide a deadly crisis. They dared not to relax in the slightest, even breathing as lightly as possible, for fear of disturbing something they shouldn't.
Time seemed to stretch, every second unusually protracted. Their conversations dwindled, everyone immersed in their own thoughts, both anticipating Elder Logan's return, and worried whether his journey had been a smooth one.
