Despite it being a bit late into the morning, the barren plains were still dark as night. As for the cadets, those who had recovered enough to hunt were preparing to leave the camp.
Cedric's party was joining too, so they gathered amongst Aurora's party and the others. The only person who wasn't there was Leon.
Aurora walked past the crowd of cadets to where Cedric's party members were waiting, then she approached their circle.
"How is he?" she asked, looking in the direction where the party had stayed during the night.
Dion, who had been talking to Evelyn, stopped and looked towards the direction she was looking at, then replied, "He's still recovering. Whatever had happened to him seemed really bad."
Aurora sighed and her expression grew dark.
But just then, Audrey, who stood among them frowned and interrupted the group. "Guys… do you hear something?"
Everyone turned and gave Audrey a confused look. But she seemed to be listening to something intently.
