Moving Pieces

Days later, the kids contacted Alaric through a communication formation that he had drawn out. Apparently, they were able to retrieve information that was invaluable.

According to Sebastian, Destro Fen claimed that should he be killed, a signal would be sent to his grandfather, a rank-5 wielder with connections in the royal court.
