Dilan's reasoning

"Why are all of them looking at us as if we were their arch enemies?" Kuhn, an 18-year-old young man asked while breathing heavily.

He was out of breath and was trying to replenish his Stamina as quickly as possible. However, Williams, Oliver, and Ailee were simply too impatient. They didn't allow him and Silas to rest for long before they pushed them ahead.

It was because of their impatience that they arrived at the Blue Star camp at lunch the morning after Dilan asked Bianne to call them over.

In a matter of hours, everyone mentioned by Dilan had come together. Despite being confused about the odd selection of members of the group, they finished their preparations before coming together.

Dilan had heard the commotion when a few soldiers spoke about a group of five Ascenders approaching and entering the Blue Star camp.

He disappeared from his room and appeared in front of his people seconds later.
