With the clone of Mono–aptly given a new name–The Twin, in his tow, Raven left the dark castle for Lantherem to finish some last-minute preparations. The rest of the party returned home with their trust in their leader firm and to fulfil the duties that they had left. Rations, armor, shield, arrows and every manner of potions and elixirs needed to be procured. Thankfully, Athenia had provided the holy order with most of their equipment with some help from the mortals, but the rest still required some work, and with only a few days left before their promised return to Eclanor, splitting responsibilities was the only way to fulfil them all.
"What exactly are we doing here?" Unable to help her curiosity, the Twin grabbed Raven by his shoulder. As the warlord turned around, however, his piercing eyes and the memories of him so easily destroying her army froze the twin right on the spot.
