Luke came out of his room and was about to get down the stairs when he saw that both his sisters were on the ground floor. They were in their armors and fully equipped. Luke felt quite glad, as he could guess that they were finally about to leave after a torturous week of persuasion on him.
He hurriedly moved down the stairs, hiding his emotions and with a confused expression he asked.
"Are you going somewhere elder sister?"
"Oh, Luke! I'm sorry baby brother, but we have to leave today! An urgent message came from Frostbane! Our presence is required immediately!"
Luke was ecstatic, but he spoke with a sad expression. "It's unfortunate, but what can be done when duty calls!"
"Will you really not come back with us Luke?" Layla asked, with hopeful eyes.
"I told you sister! I'm good here! I'll try to visit both of you in the future, but in regards to coming back home, that won't be possible!"
Anna was about to say something when Bren called for them.
"It's time lady Anna!"
