The group rushed at full speed through the castle corridors. Their steps were quick—almost a run—but careful enough to avoid being discovered.
Their footsteps made no sound. Max's ring was active, creating an area that enveloped the entire group in absolute silence.
Abby led the way, turning at every corner without hesitation.
"Faster, please…!"
She didn't look back.
"…we have to get there before something happens to my brother."
Dorian ran behind them, breathing heavily.
"…this is insane…"
He placed a hand over his chest.
"I'm still not recovered… I used too much magic… let's slow down, please…"
Max didn't even turn his head, but he answered anyway.
"Stop whining and keep running."
Moonlight let out a laugh.
"How weak you've become, Mr. Healer Elf."
Dorian frowned.
"I'm not as young as I look. There's a reason I left my life as an adventurer."
Neros raised a hand.
"Wait a second."
The group slowed down instantly.
