Hex noticed that Adgar and Oron also looked grim when he told them about the attacker.
They had agreed to remain close to each other, which is why Hex found and gathered the Knights rather quickly.
He made sure not to include the Squires in case he was worried about something minor.
'But it doesn't seem so minor after all,' he concluded based on the grave expressions of the Knights.
"I am sure. He was loud enough, so I can't be mistaken," Hex said in an affirmative tone. He looked at the Knights who seemed hesitant.
"So, is anyone going to tell me what this is all about?" The demanding note his voice could have upset the Knights, but this time they didn't seem to mind.
As usually was the case, Hestia was the one to explain.
"The Dawnbringers are an old organization, active in many countries. We are not sure what their end goal is, but they are always directly or indirectly involved in catastrophic events."
"Wait, then if they are here, does it mean something is about to happen?" Hex asked with a worried look.
Hestia looked at him with a raised brow. "About to happen? Don't you think that is already happening?"
