Ania studied Skalr's expression for a moment. Something about it felt familiar, almost reassuring. Then, it clicked. 'He feels similar to Exile in ways. Did Exile create another hero to help us? But why wouldn't he tell us about it?'

Skalr took several runestones in his hand before tossing them at the sphere. Bjorn watched with a curious expression as they crawled over the image, which had moved back to the barricade. He noticed the runes move to focus on a central individual of each group moving around inside the outpost.

"What are you doing?" Bjorn asked with a deep frown. Eager to learn more about the uses of runestones. 

"Hm, I'm marking them." Skalr chuckled as another fistful of runestones appeared in his hand. "You should pay attention to what happens next."
