Different treatment
The Old Elf Crevian felt that the situation was a little bit odd.
Nial was the first one to approach the Elves, he was well aware of their hand signs, and he was loved by nature and mana.
However, simultaneously, he was a Destroyer and the person, who was the most familiar with someone, who acted suspiciously upon seeing the green portal descending within the Forest of Life.
That means the Sacred Knights leader was likely to know something about the green portal, and possibly what it actually was; a manifested Fragment of a Divinity!
'If he knows about the portal's true identity he can only be closely connected to a Divine existence, or be one himself!' Crevian assumed when he thought about the identity of the Sacred Knights leader.
It was truly weird that he had run away somewhere. Yet, at the same time, the young man in front of him was even odder.
