Chapter 117: Rules and regulations
"Alright, now explain to me why a horde of Imps dared attack my town," Crithann said.
Irwin and the others were standing near the gate while a group of curious Viridians had come out to listen in. Crithann didn't seem to care, staring at Yogog.
"Whoa, easy there," Yogog said, raising his hands in defense. "This wasn't our fault!"
"I didn't say it was. Now answer my question," Crithann replied.
Yogog put his hands on his side and let out a weary sigh.
"About that. I take it none of you have had any news from Cinder Grove?"
"The last information we had was when Irwin and his friends came," Crithann said, his expression turning serious. "What happened."
"Portals appeared," Yogog said.
Irwin felt Ambraz move about on his shoulder, and he thought he heard a soft, whispered curse.
"Impossible," Crithann rumbled, his voice holding a tinge of anger. "This is-"
"A stable world, too far from the main branch, multiple soul-carded. Yes, I know. It shouldn't be possible. But the quartz rank portal on the border of Cinder Grove didn't seem to agree with us."
A worried murmur came from the surrounding Viridians, and a few of them ran off, like to get the others.
