Failure Is Not an Option (2)

Sera inclined her head in understanding, her faith in Killian evident in her demeanor. She knew, without a doubt, that he would go to any lengths to protect those he held dear, especially his beloved wife.

"By the way, are you sure you don't want to retrieve Raven Eclipse from the young elf? Something that doesn't belong to this realm would be dangerous for humans and darklings like you." She asked out of curiosity.

Sera accepted his explanation with a nod, trusting his judgment. She knew Killian was wise and would not take unnecessary risks. With a final glance at Iris, who lay still and pale, she disappeared as mysteriously as she had appeared.
