16 16. The Diamond Kingdom

No matter what, this was way too sudden. Not only did it cause an instant uproar in the crowd, it shocked Sansara, Mohi and every other mage present there.

How could it happen in front of their eyes with all of them present yet unable to prevent it?!

They couldn’t waste a minute longer. They were about to leave for the queen when the townsfolk suddenly grabbed an arm of Mohi and began to plead, “Please don’t leave us alone. Who knows if Banshee comes again! We don’t want to die.”

“Yes yes, please don’t leave us to die!”

“Please don’t abandon us.”

They were right though. Somebody had to go after Banshee too and now that she was probably somewhere close, it would be easier to track her down.

After a minute of discussion of reaching nowhere, Vinasaka announced, “Let it be Sansara and I, who go to the queen and the rest of you can go after Banshee.”
