"The elders and the Sect Leader have gone off to fend off this mysterious attacker and they have left me with the duty of bringing you all to safety. Come! Follow me!"

"Should we go?"

"But what about the elders and the Sect Leader? Will they be fine?"

"You felt that large shockwave, how can we match that strength? We will be killed in an instant."

"For all you know, they might not be enough."

"You! What have you done with my uncle? Where is he?!" he shouted out. 

"What do you mean? What are you trying to do? We must leave immediately!"
