The Tidebreaker's Return

Fortunately, Alfaera and the others understood what was going on by the time Tristan said those words to the young man.

Because of that, just as Valyr was about to ask for more information in return, Alfaera and the others worked alongside Tristan to get the young man up to speed on the current situation regarding the monster tides.

 Thankfully, it only took a couple rounds of repeated explanation for Valyr to finally understand what was going on, eliciting both a slight sigh of relief and a look of slight anxiety to appear on his face.

From what the others had told him, after the final monster tide Valyr participated in was over, the monster tides after that had gradually increased in length, with each subsequent tide gaining an additional wave to clear compared to the previous.
