Erend began explaining everything that had happened during the days he was gone. His voice was calm but firm, keeping the details brief—only what they needed to know.
He told them about the travels between worlds, his Dragonborn friend, Krono's warning, and the growing instability spreading through the worlds.
The others listened in silence, their faces steady but their eyes alert, fully aware of the gravity behind his every word.
They already knew some of this through Erend's telepathic communication with Captain Adrien while he was away. The link had been faint but enough for updates.
Among the group, only Erend, Adrien, and Billy had enough Magic capacity to maintain telepathy across dimensions, but that was all they needed to stay connected so that was enough.
When Erend finished his brief summary, Adrien gave a small nod. "So it's true then. The entity's still out there."
"Yes," Erend said. "And keep moving with whatever plan they have."
