Although the battle had been won and the enemies lay dead, a stifling silence pervaded the area. There were only five beings present: Elian, Bianca, Silent, Bastion, and the interloper known as Alfred Valestra.
Despite being in Frigid, Bianca quickly approached Elian and took his hand in hers. Like a lifeline, she grabbed it tight and interlocked their fingers. Her husband would have felt pleased at the act if not for the current problem in front of them.
"Now, now, don't look at me like that. I am not your enemy. I wish you two no harm. But I have no interest in anyone else. Let's send them home, shall we?"
At once, the human figures of Silent and Bastion dissolved into light and vanished, leaving only three. His demonstration caused Elian to raise his brow. The fact that he could control the system meant this Alfred was no simple being.
