Chapter 46: Second Day Ranking
The ground beneath them was crumbling and falling apart.
Hestia used her vines to wrap the three unconscious people with them from falling down. She and Althea were supported by Adgar, who used the air as a cushion to climb higher.
Under Hestia's lead they climbed up the other side of the chasm. Due to the cavern collapse under the wolves' lair, the other side collapsed completely.
"That was close," Hestia chuckled, gasping for breath as she fell on her back, her feet hanging at the edge of the chasm.
Beside her, Althea stood upright with a calm expression. The quickened movement of her chest was the only evidence of her exertion.
Adgar sat on the other side and looked at the three people laying on the ground. "It seems the boy is going to survive. Any idea what happened down there?"
Hestia groaned and pulled herself up into a seated pose. "Not exactly. But I can guess. There was a dead guy close to him. I suspect a Dawnbringer."
"I peeped inside the cavern." Althea joined the conversation from the side. "Based on the layout I think the place was some sort of hideout. But due to the emergency I couldn't see much more."
"Well, no point in aimlessly discussing. We will just have to wait for these three to regain their wits," Hestia said, getting up to her feet while stretching her body.
Adgar looked at the two other people. His eyes narrowed when he saw the girl with light brown hair. "Is she...?"
Hestia followed his gaze and nodded. "She was probably captured by the Dawnbringers. The purpose remains a mystery for now."
