Lann and Cassandra left the room together.
Because they were not Athenians, this reason served as a convincing pretext to leave.
After all, Lann had already made significant contributions to this epidemic with his wisdom and knowledge.
"Every time I think I've become a fearless warrior, I always encounter situations that can't be solved by sheer force alone: epidemics, conspiracies, missing family..."
Cassandra's Amazon Warrior Boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the marble steps of Pericles' Mansion.
"It seems the gods like to remind me that I'm still a mortal in the human world."
Seeing that Cassandra seemed a bit downcast, Lann offered her some comfort.
"We are all mortals; we can only do what mortals can do."
The two of them gazed with mixed feelings out from the courtyard of Pericles' Mansion towards the sky, where dust clouds covered the sunlight over Athens.
