Chapter 66: Reunion

The dungeon's entrance was a welcome sight for Marcellus. He walked briskly inside, after scanning his surroundings to see if Chavu was not outside, on one task or the other.

The Naga was not in the core room. No crystals were floating over the pedestal, either. The vampire smiled, glad that Chavu's confinement had ended the day before. Regretting only that he had not been there to see him open his eyes.

Yet, it couldn't be helped. Marcellus had to stay for the grant announcement. Then, he had to make sure that everything was packed and get the two princes and Gregory, plus the gnomes, back to Gorington, so they could continue the tour.

Marcellus next checked the pond cavern, for he was sure he would find the Naga in there. Chavu was not in there either. Marcellus looked down in the clear water. No snake tail, not even a strand of hair.

"System, where is Chavu?" Now, Marcellus was worried. Had the system tricked the Naga again?
