Rachel sighed, massaging her temple. "I hope you can tolerate her attitude, Ervian."
Ervian chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Don't worry, Commander. We've met before, and I think we can work together just fine."
With their introductions made and the team formed, the trio prepared themselves for the mission ahead.
Rachel provided them with final instructions, emphasizing the importance of their task and the need for caution.
As the sun reached its zenith, the final preparations were completed and the newly formed pursuit team, comprising high-ranking magi from various city districts, set off from the western city gate on horseback.
Among the magi, Ervian caught sight of Emma with his Sensus, the Seer who had provided him with a warning earlier, also joining their ranks.
On the western district's side, the specialized squad moved together with a cognisance of purpose. They were well aware of the gravity of their mission and the dangers that lay ahead.
