Calamity Upon The Capital [Pt 12]

[Moments Earlier]

~BOOOOOOM!~

As Eric closed his eyes and enjoyed the wonderful breeze, just as he said he would, he heard the rumbles that echoed from the Capital.

"...."

He ignored it the first time, instead choosing to focus on his nice rest. Becoming perturbed would ruin the process of recovering his Mana. 

How could he properly make his escape if he didn't have sufficient Mana for the journey?

As such, he did his best to shut everything out. He minimized conversations with Justin as they both remained under the canopies of the trees that surrounded them. 

None spoke a word, and Eric was grateful for the silence.

But… 

~BOOOOOOOOOM!!!~

… The explosions did not stop.

'That one sounded pretty loud.' Eric, with his eyes closed, found his thoughts trailing. 

Was he worried? Did he feel concerned for his comrades that chose to head to a place of danger, despite all the warnings he gave?
