The air in the hut suddenly felt much heavier than before, and Rion's face had turned pale.
Sovra and Morvak's eyes darkened, their grip around their weapons tightened so much that their arms' veins began to bulge.
A few minutes passed in that sharp and stifling silence, and Rion finally came to terms with Marin's words.
He looked at Marin, who no longer had his usual smile and kind eyes, and asked, "How is that possible? Wouldn't Father have already caught them?"
Marin didn't say anything and shifted his gaze towards Sovra.
Rion also shifted his gaze towards him.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him with eyes that said: Tell us, Sovra, tell us.
He heaved a tired sigh and spoke, "Marin sent Bari to my settlement, but before he could reach there — The Remnant... or a part of them took over his body."
Rion tore his gaze towards Marin and asked, "The guards know about them?"
