Resurfaced Memories

Arthur needed time to dispel the unknown barrier using his improved runes. That was why he sent Rain and Oren to stop Kar from obtaining the amplifier. His highest priority was to save the citizens of Kera. 

On the other side of the world, Rain stared at the three descending jets that came to pick them up. The two of them were at the temple with the sand thieves after numerous attempts at finding Valeria in Hikma. 

Oren and Nyx jumped from the jet before it landed and strode toward them. No small talk was necessary at the moment since they were racing against time. 

"Are they coming with us?" asked Oren as he looked at Thorn and Sahira. 

"We share the same values with them now," Sapphire answered. "We heard about what happened in Sourna. The Wisemen have betrayed us and allied with Orlan without my father's approval. The sand thieves will help us stop Kar, in return for helping them stop the Wisemen."
