160 More Than Meets The Eye

Dante was in Dracona, attending to some royal affairs when an energy signal from far away caught his attention. Like other beings who hailed from the Celestial Realm, he had the ability to sense their energy signals. 

But the energy signal he sensed at that moment, was a familiar one. It was one he had not expected. Moments later, he had a gut feeling that Laina was in danger. Though he did not believe it at first, it soon became clear as he got to Kinshearth. 

He traced the energy signal to the clearing in the forest, where Laina had used a spell of fire to incinerate the beasts. 

"But how is this possible…" Dante muttered to himself as he touched the soil on the ground. 

The blackened soil served as damning evidence as to what had occurred. A spark of excitement lit in his eyes. Marius, who had followed him to Kinshearth, surveyed the surroundings. He noticed the traps that had been rigged all over the clearing.
