An Illegal Smuggler

A few days before the events in Ilios, Arthur was still in Yalenia, the capital of Yalen. He left the mansion, where he overheard the conversation between Idris and Vihan. He left the estate feeling slight emptiness.

Arthur had a lot of things to do at the moment. One of them was closing the gates before they spewed even more invaders and calamities. That was his goal with Ascent. However, he couldn't turn a blind eye to what Ivy was going through since he owed her a lot.

"I might be able to get her out of there without causing too many troubles," pondered Arthur as he walked through the streets of Yalen. "However, I might be needed back at the guild."

Arthur contacted Julia after that. If she said he needed to come back, he would send some of his shadows to where Ivy was. It might be wishful thinking, but it was better than going there in person. Thus, he called Julia.
