"So…" Zenith began, her sharp gaze fixed on the long-haired man trembling before her. "Dark Trinity wants to kidnap Pasithea, is that it?"
The man nodded feverishly, sweat trickling down his temple.
"And why would they do that?" she asked, her staff's gem pulsing with light closer to his face.
"I don't know!" he stammered, his voice cracking. "They never told us the reason. We just follow orders!"
"It's not hard to guess, though," Aimar muttered, stepping to her side. His eyes briefly flicked to Zenith. "Himmel did tell me about the elves' current condition."
"They want to exploit the elves?" she guessed, a frown appearing on her beautiful face.
"I believe so," Aimar replied with a curt nod of his head. "We should move."
Without warning, Zenith raised her staff, gripping it like a club.
Thwack!
The man crumpled to the ground, unconscious, blood trickling from a fresh wound on his temple.
