Momentary Relief

A rip in space appeared in the Paradox Planes. From the rip in space, Adrian and the sphinx came out. Adrian immediately headed to Ascalor's abode as he knew that time is of the essence. They reached the room where Ascalor is being treated and Adrian is shocked with what he saw.

Ascalor's body is already half covered in this poison like substance. Elder Danaya did not look any better as she looked dried up and about to die from malnutrition. Adrian is shocked upon seeing this but Koronn who was there explained the situation.

The elder dryad told Koronn to give Adrian a month to get the relic but that was a lie as they knew how difficult it is to get a relic. The best-case scenario would be for Adrian to get the relic in five days and at most ten days. Elder Danaya is hell bent on curing Ascalor that she would give her life force just to heal him.
