Buying time
Rain and Seadir made their landing on the eastern side of the human camp, and their presence was greeted with immediate tension. The soldiers stationed there reacted swiftly, seizing their weapons and assuming battle-ready positions. Suspicion hung heavy in the air as they prepared to defend their territory.
However, as Rain and Seadir drew closer, the soldiers noticed something. Instead of advancing toward the camp, they halted just ten meters from the invisible barrier that marked their advantageous area. Rain and Seadir could clearly see the anti-magic barrier, or so they thought. The soldiers raised their guards but refrained from attacking, aware that they faced individuals with extraordinary abilities beyond their comprehension.
"Tell the king that we are here to negotiate," Rain raised his voice. "If all the soldiers and the king surrender now, everyone will be sparred aside from Joanis and his soldiers. You have half an hour to pass the message."
