Ning had gone to sleep after introducing Sorlus to his younger cousin. The young man was surprised to see Sorlus and his first instinct was to ask if he was Ning's son.

Ning knocked him on the head before telling him to take care of him for a while and went to sleep.

However, since it hadn't been long since he had woken up, merely 8 hours at most, he didn't need much sleep.

Still, since the night was over, he felt like she should sleep so he went ahead and took a small nap.

His nap was interrupted a few hours later by rather loud bangs on his door.

"What? Who is it?" he shouted at the door. However, before anyone could answer, Saphandra flew through the door and appeared inside. On her face was a look that said something terrible had happened.

Ning instantly sent out his divine sense to check on his grandmother, and then his uncle. Once he made sure the two of them were safe, he checked the other two of his family members.
