A battleship anchored in front of the frozen island to pick up Rasmus and the others. Arka personally came down the ship to understand what had happened. However, when he looked around, he only found Aris, alone on the island.
Arka used Aura to protect himself from the extreme cold and the fact the frozen island was also burning made it bizarre. The flame was dark purple, ominous and dangerous from seeing it alone. He knew he wouldn't be able to survive if he walked deeper into the island, at least with his current ability.
"Lady Aris, where's Count Blackheart and the others?" Arka asked, still looking around for Rasmus.
"He's here, but he doesn't want to meet with anyone at the moment," Aris answered, her expression stoic and unreadable. "We will continue our search for the source of the corruption. This time I know where they are, and we will get rid of them," she said and walked past Arka toward the battleship.
