Anyway, after watching the replay, we discovered that Princess Hazel was taken away willingly, in exchange for gaining more power. Power to protect her family... to be able to fight against the incoming demon invasion.
Still, the enemy was quite good! They were able to open portals beyond my detection, after all.
Now that I should receive notifications whenever someone enters or leaves Hargoth, I didn't even notice her disappearance until Queen Thalia herself alerted us.
This means the enemy could be around the same strength, or even stronger than me.
"So, Ember, any idea where they went?"
Now that her motive was resolved, the only question remaining was, "Where did they go?"
Ember was inspecting the air, the place where the crack in space appeared, and gently shaking her head.
"Sorry, Master. There are no hints left about their coordinates. The space itself had already closed up, and not a single trace remained."
"... D*mn."
