"This... how... so many..." the guy stammered, unable to process it.
The three youngsters quickly walked up. Eleri spoke excitedly: "Brother Darian, everyone's ready for any test!"
Darian nodded and turned to the guy: "We're... kinda in a hurry. They're all my allies and came with me from the desert. We can all join together, right?"
The guy almost jumped in disbelief. He turned to Darian and nodded hastily: "Come on, I'll take you to the sect right away."
He spoke and moved fast, like he didn't want to give them a chance to back out. Everyone followed him into the village. In the middle of several houses there was an open area, marked by a circle on the ground covered in small silvery stones.
"Step into the circle, I'll activate the transport," the guy announced.
