Edge and his friends were now following a group of people. They were moving as fast as they could using the cover of the night. These people they were following were sent by Setsuna to guide them back to his residence. Of course, Edge and the others didn't believe them at first, but then they showed some identification and Serillia confirmed that they were who they say they were.
Still, even after confirming their allegiance Edge was still cautious of them. Even though he and Setsuna were friends, based on the current standing of the Lener clan this might be a trap. Edge understood that Setsuna was already the clan leader and he needed to think what's best for the clan. Still, passing through the Lener clan was the best path the group could talk to reach the forest of the elves. Well, if it were a trap Edge and the group already had made a plan just in case.
