Once Ethan returned, he did not waste time resting, and instead he immediately began preparing to leave because the attack on Frostvale had already shaken him deeply and it did not let his mind settle.
Even though things had been handled for now and Rathlos and Amber managed to take care of the situation, and with his father-in-law stepping in to shield the higher ranks the immediate danger was under control, Ethan still could not relax.
His land had been attacked.
His people had been targeted.
And even though the situation was stable for now, he knew it would not stay like this for long, and just waiting here while hoping things would remain fine did not sit well with him.
He clenched his fist slightly and exhaled.
"When my land is being ravaged by those beasts, how can I stay here calmly?" he muttered to himself.
There was no hesitation in his heart anymore.
He needed to go back.
