In the meantime, while Vale was enjoying his meal with Constance, sharing warm dishes and quiet laughter at the table, one of their oldest companions remained absent.
Chad, the half-dragon Immortal, had not been seen since the Chaos Immortal Invasion.
He hadn't participated in the defensive mission at all.
Even after Vale's return, days had passed, and there was still no word from him.
Of course, he wasn't with the beastkin who had been hidden within the Shadow Domain for many reasons, nor was he seen near any of the Arcane Towers.
It was as if he had vanished entirely.
But in truth, Chad had been sent away, dispatched to a distant land under Avatar Vale's quiet orders during the height of the invasion.
He was currently in the holy land of the Beast Arts Faction, deep within the Pallham Empire, the largest empire on the continent.
