Janus gritted his teeth while his hands clenched into fists at his sides, trembling with realization and frustration. "The attacks are getting more dangerous."
Amiya stood beside him, her violet eyes wide with concern. "Now the roots are attacking... This is bad, Janus."
Janus nodded sharply, his orange eyes blazing with determination. "Go get the Luminous Knights. We're leaving now."
Amiya blinked in surprise. "What about-"
"I will get Dad to fess up." Janus interrupted. "This time I won't take no for an answer."
Amiya furrowed her brows, studying his expression. Then she nodded and rushed off, her Seeker coat flaring behind her as she ran toward the library.
Janus turned before he spotted Nigen standing near the inn's entrance, his father's face furrowed with troubled thoughts. As Janus watched, his father turned and headed inside the building.
Janus followed as anger burned through his chest while frustration bubbled at his father's unwillingness to help.
