When Major Lennard finally left, the three men breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew...." Billy sighed. "Damn, she's quite intense."

"I think she is even more dangerous than her father," said Erend.

"You think so?" Billy answered. "But I'd rather be in the room with her than with the General."

"You still like her? After all that?" Erend looked at Billy with a look of disbelief.

"Well, I don't exactly like her. I just think she is attractive," Billy said.

"You're courting death if you really like her, Brook. Anyway." Adrien entered the chat to stop their bickering. "What exactly are you dealing with there?"

When they finally got into serious conversation, the room seemed to turn heavier.

Erend got up and leaned against the wall of the bed.

"Something very dangerous and corrupted just got leaked out to this dimension. Something that came from another world. The result is what you see," Erend said.

"Is there a chance that, 'something' that dangerous will come again?" Billy asked.

Erend shook his head. "I don't know. Let's just hope that doesn't happen."

"Shit, I thought our business with the things from another world was over," Adrien said while grinding his teeth. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Erend wanted to say that it was possible that the business with another world would never end.

He didn't know why, but Erend felt that the event that connected the two worlds wouldn't end with just the leak of Magic from something that looked like that tree.

Erend hoped his hunch was wrong. But he also knew that the hunch was not just a hunch.

He's not a human being anymore. As a Dragonborn, his premonitions would usually be more accurate. But Erend couldn't say that.

"We don't have to think about it any further now. It's already over," Erend said.

"Yeah, but... all those young soldiers who died miserably..." Adrien muttered sadly.

He remembered the scene in front of his eyes when the soldiers who were still beginners died in a sadistic way.

Billy turned to Erend and stared at him. He also got the same stare from Erend.

They both felt uncomfortable seeing Adrien who was saddened by the death of the soldiers.

On the other hand, they didn't feel any meaningful feelings when they saw the soldiers.

They both could understand each other's feelings because they had been friends for such a long time.

And they also know that Adrien is different from them so now the best option is not to say anything about their feeling about the soldiers.

"I want to discuss a matter that is quite important now," Erend said.

Billy and Adrien stared at him.

"What's that?" Billy asked.

Erend motioned for the two of them to come closer. After that, he started whispering.

"It's about the Magic experiment that the government is doing in secret."

Adrien and Billy immediately put on tense faces.

"What about it?" Billy asked.

"I intend to stop the experiment. And remove the Magic power that currently in the humans who are become subjects," Erend replied.

"But how do we do that?" Adrien asked. "We don't even know where they did the experiment."

"Even when we know the location, I'm sure it has very strong security. We can't just go in there and say we're going to destroy everything they've been working on for so long right?" Billy added.

"Of course not. But I have a way to deal with that," Erend said.

"Yeah?" Adrien cocked his head. "How?"

Billy also looked at Erend curiously.

"I asked Aurdis for help. She said, she wants to come here to help us."

Hearing Erend's answer, Adrien and Billy looked surprised.

"Why did she want to come here?" Billy asked while putting on an expression of confusion on his face.

"That's because I told her that the Magic in the bodies of the subjects is the Magic that comes from them."

Adrien and Billy nodded their heads in understanding. Erend told them before that it is forbidden for the Elves.

"Then we'll just have to wait until they come, right? We can't do anything until they come," Billy said.

"Yeah." Erend nodded.

Evening came and brought darkness to this world. The day feels so long in both James's and Liam's heads.

The two of them were now lying on the bed in the infirmary.

They closed their eyes and went into deep subconscious due to the anesthesia.

Their thoughts drifted in a distant direction. To a place, they had never thought of or visited before. But they got there.

Surprisingly, James and Liam are now in the same place together.

Unlike the dreams that usually happen to them, where they will only live and walk their own dreams.

Right now, they dreaming in the same place. Doing the same thing. And stared at the same sight. It is the sight of a towering tree.

"What is that?" Liam asked while frowning and looking at the tree.

James who was next to him was shocked when he heard Liam's voice.

"Liam? You're here too?" Said James with shock.

Liam, who had not noticed James' presence before, finally turned his head when he heard his voice.

"James? What the hell..." Liam said. He looks as shocked as him.

"Are we in the same dream?" James asked the same question that was on Liam's mind.

"This is weird. It shouldn't be possible for something like this to happen," Liam muttered while putting on a face that looked confused.

"What tree is that?" Said James.

Liam snapped out of his thoughts and immediately followed James' gaze.

They stared at the towering dry tree.

"Let's go," said James.

"You wanna come closer?!"

"It's only a dream. Don't worry."

James continues walking regardless of Liam's warning.

In the end, Liam started to follow him.

The two of them drew closer to the tall thin tree that looked sick.

Little did they know that they were walking towards a fate they had not thought of before.

They walked closer to the tree. The ground they stepped on was reddish and slightly sandy. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

The footprints of their shoes are created as their steps get farther away.
