557 Plague of Mara City

Golden Plains, night

"Someone figured out the poison."

There was a small thatched cottage in the thick grass. Inside, Ariel, Elovan, and Milose sat facing each other. They had been meditating as Magicians usually did, and the cottage had been quiet. Ariel suddenly broke the silence.

Elovan and Milose didn't open their eyes, but their expressions changed. "Can you sense who it is?"

"I'm not sure. It's a strange power, very clean and seemingly a bit gentle… No, it's reserved. This is a subtle power. I feel that if it is used at full force, it can be terrifying."

"Do you know where it is?" Elovan asked.

"Near Mara City."

"Your Highness, should we go check?" Milose asked.

Ariel was silent for a bit. Then she said, "Let's go see. Bileauquin is not a simple poison. I have to see who solved it… But try not to get into conflict with him. We can't reveal our identity."
