Chapter 30: A Call
The rain fell steadily, drumming on the roof of the covered parking lot where vehicles lined up in neat rows.
A blonde girl slipped into her car, a sleek model with curved lines glinting under dim lights.
Once inside, she shut the door and pulled out her phone, dialing a number that answered almost instantly.
Beep!
The connection clicked, followed by a cheerful voice on the other end.
"Elyse? You out of the arena already?" the voice asked, brimming with curiosity.
It was Mira Teth, the guild leader who'd sent her there.
Elyse let out a short laugh, settling into her seat as she glanced out the window.
The road was packed with people leaving, some still mentioning Rian Cole's name.
"You were right, Mira," she said, a smile audible in her voice. "What happened today was... insane. I don't even know where to start."
Mira laughed on the other end, a high-pitched sound that made Elyse grin wider.
