The castle was in an uproar. A couple of minutes ago, Arlem entered with Ryan on his back, both of them didn't look so good.
The sky was dimly lit and the night had held strong in the atmosphere.
The main hall was already filled with people in array waiting for the return of the hunters, however only Arlem and Ryan returned... with no meat?
Chatters began to rise...
"What's going on?"
"I don't see any of their party members?"
"Oh bless Tach, did they all get wiped out?"
"Why are they looking like that?"
"Where is our meat?"
"Is there no food for us tonight?"
The air was rife with mutters like this. Everyone was looking at Arlem and Ryan who were immediately approached by other party members and two party leaders.
They were escorted into the inner chambers before anything could be said.
