The report was made and Eldric talks with Garen and Cael

The three men's eyes lit up once Eldric had stepped outside. The group gathered together and gave a salute, "Congratulations on breaking through to the next realm!" all three men spoke in unison as if they practiced it; their movements and tone were precisely the same.

"Haha, that's why! You must have felt the energy coming from my cabin, no?" he asked rhetorically. He had forgotten about the disturbances breaking through to the next level caused.

"It's nothing amazing." Although happy with the praise he received, Eldric refrained from showing too much outwardly; after all, it should be much easier for him to advance to a peak Man-at-arms (Rank 1) knight.

Taking this time when all four of them were together, he asked, "Are the preparations ready?"

Solen took a step forward and spoke firmly, "I have already instructed a few knights to keep watch over the mines, they are only waiting for my orders."
