Khione paced up and down her room anxiously, waiting for Jasper's return. He should have been back before Khione had even returned but he was still nowhere to be seen. She couldn't help but feel worried. Just as she had decided it would be best for her to go and look for him, a knock sounded on the door.
She ran and opened it as she said, "Finally! I was so wor–" she stopped mid-word upon seeing a pale faced Jasper at the door with his arm wrapped around a stoic faced Llyrian, "worried."
Jasper tried to weakly smile but he gave up quickly. Instead he walked inside with the help of Llyrian followed by a Cerberus Khione was not familiar with and Eira.
"What is going on?" she asked cautiously. Having two royal guardians accompanying Jasper to his room couldn't have been a good sign.
