Istalian let out a laugh, frustration etched on his face. He desired the divine essence, and yet these kids couldn't even find it with a map.
He turned his gaze to Lucus and Sen, and his face darkened.
"You two are useless. I thought you could at least handle this task, but I was mistaken. I should have sent someone better."
