He's in-charge

After his job was done, he was adamant in returning back to the manor as fast as he could but it would take him at least a day to reach central. As for the reason, he did not know why. He was already half way through his journey when they were suddenly disrupted and the carriage was forced to stop.

He alighted from the carriage and saw that there was a gate that was slowly forming in front of them. He squinted his eyes and saw that it was actually Rigel who came out from it. The man looked around for a moment before his gaze settled on the archmage.

"I did not expect to see you here," Sigma spoke first after the man approached them. "What made you come here?"

"I've finished my job and took another job but then the news reached me," he paused for a moment before he continued, "the manor is under attack."

Sigma was surprised at the news, "What are you talking about? How can that be?"
