Gareus of House Gaia left the fortress with his army. The other forces left as well, their destination as obvious as it could be. Too curious to ignore them, I transformed into a flying monster and followed the armies.
As much as I wanted to close in on the Eserian to hunt and expand my repertoire of Accessible Shifts, I kept my distance. And as soon as the forces entered the Eserian, I returned to Fern and Clove.
Then, after days of silence, the first news reached us. Precisely, the reached Bork who replaced Gareus Gaia until the Official's return. Jer must have eavesdropped to his father, and he did the only thing he could have thought of: He came to us right away.
