Immediate Reaction and Preparation

The moment Perchet entered the room, all shouts or celebration ceased. The entire room stared at the unexpected duo. Then Jack spoke, throwing everyone further out the loop.

"How did it go?"

The helmed swordsman shook his head as Perchet sighed, "We failed…"

"Why is Perchet here?" Eedaj asked, completely baffled for a moment. But before an answer came, his eyes widened even further beyond what he thought possible. The Mind God then closed his mouth and said nothing more as his strong mental fortitude was on the brink of collapsing.

"What is it?!" shouted Dragas, covered in cake. "It had better be good!"

Perchet spoke up, "We failed to help Kylon and were forced to change plans… I've now officially defected from the legendary gods."

"Seriously… Then--"

"I must humbly ask for your help to temporarily relocate my people," stated Perchet, finishing Moranti's immediate thought. "I'm sorry for ruining the festivities. We had no other choice."
