When the dark elf had rushed off to inform Cairo of the intruder, he immediately sped back, his cloak streaming behind him. His heart pounded as he followed the trail of chaotic, powerful energy.
When he arrived, the scene froze him in place.
Veronica was gone.
All that remained was a faint scorch on the floor and a small pile of ash, still radiating traces of chaotic, powerful energy.
Cairo's jaw tightened. "...No."
He knelt beside the ash, recognizing the energy. It belonged to one of the elves who had been guarding the Priestess.
Which meant… she had been attacked.
"My priestess…" he whispered, eyes dark with fury. "Who dared do this?"
Cairo turned to the dark elf who had followed him, her face pale and trembling. She glanced down at the pile of ash, her partner gone in an instant.
"I will catch whoever did this, Sarah" Cairo said, his voice low but full of steel, eyes burning with fury.
