Bunny listened from the side, her eyes turning red. She thought of her father.
Evangeline sighed softly, pulling Bunny into her arms too. "Don't cry," she whispered. "Mother will take you to see your father very soon."
Thorne paused, then exchanged a look with Loras and Danton. All three wore heavy expressions.
"See him? Where is Caden Albright?" The Everwake's eyes glinted as he sensed the sudden, heavy atmosphere in the tent.
'It was obvious at a glance whose cub this little maiden was. But Caden Albright wasn't here?'
He remembered seeing Caden Albright in Blackwater Swamp during the rainy season. The pride of the Oasis Tribe, a male once sought after by countless females, had become a Fallen Beastman with an Eight-Star Pattern.
Evangeline ruffled Bunny's hair, then glanced at the two Merfolk children who were staring at her with earnest eyes.
She said softly, "He's on the other side of the Triangle Sea."
