Turning Point

"Did you do it?" Suzanna asked. They were worried about Anfey, who was out by himself. The group was gathered in a room prepared by Clark and waiting. When Anfey had returned, they turned their curious gazes on him.

"As long as you’re back safely, we can find another chance," Christian said.

"It's not that there wasn’t a chance. It wasn’t the princess inside, so I left her alone," Anfey told them. "Where’s Clark?"

"You all should go to rest as well," Anfey said. "Did people from Tiger of Tawau come today?"

"They did, and looked quite angry as well. Wanted us to show them proof. They calmed down after seeing Suzanna, though," Riska said. "Don't know when I’ll become a senior magister."

"Where’s your ambition?" Blavi joked. "You should say you will one day become an archmage."

"Because I don’t live in a fantasy world, Blavi."
