The storm barrier remained, but the trio had already left the area. They brought Aicel and the other Nevaris Clan members with them.
The clan forces there did not even see their faces, they were still clueless about what was happening. However, they quickly noticed the absence of Aicel, their current leader, and his clan members.
This would not end here, but these people were unrelated to Ayen's grudge. Sparing them was also within Khal's intentions. As for how the clan forces would continue after the Nevaris clan disappearance, that was not part of their considerations anymore.
In the temporary residence in the city, Khal's subordinates settled the members while Aicel was separated from them. Aicel should have a special treatment, something the man himself might not appreciate.
Ayen sat beside Devion. Khal was talking with his men and temporarily left them for a while.
"Are you okay?" Ayen asked. His fingers playing with Devion's. "The curse," he whispered.
