The alarm was sounded and everyone in the castle woke up.
But Siderius and Eli had already been long gone. They went back to the camp in the woods and met up with Jude and Ashe.
Eli was much thinner than the last time Siderius saw him. The man was basically skins and bones.
"This is the one you want to rescue?" Jude said.
Siderius nodded. "Would you mind letting him stay in the carriage as well?"
"I don't mind. But he better not disturb my wife."
"I won't." Eli said.
Siderius helped Eli get on the carriage and settled him in.
"I triggered a magical circle inside the castle." Siderius showed them a faint circle appeared on his forearm. "This is a tracking curse. Hallolass will know where I am at all times. It will take time to remove it.
That's why I will need you to continue the journey to Everia. I will cut them off."
"Master! That is very dangerous. Please let me go with you." Ashe said.
