"Macken?" The dwarf shakily got to his feet, adjusted his helmet, and said, "The knight has always been by my side, keeping watch with me. Uh... Where has he gone now?"
"I don't know, Morgan. But I have a very bad feeling," Lynch said. "Quickly wake the two ladies, we need to be prepared for anything. The fact that those mysterious forces have cleared the road for us means they have achieved their goal. I don't know why Knight Macken had to leave the camp, but if conflict arises, we must maintain swift mobility."
"Alright, alright, Lynch, don't panic. As long as you stay calm, you can solve the current mystery," Morgan said. "With me watching over you, there's no need to worry about anything happening."
Zilvra and Soka were woken up by the dwarf's loud voice. They didn't rely on long periods of sleep in the first place, so they quickly got ready. Lynch stood at the edge of the forest, constantly gazing into it, hoping in his heart that Knight Macken could return safely.
