Whisker's frantic words of doom scared Alex.
"What's going on?" he asked, just as frantic. "Is everything alright? Is Pearl okay? Are the others okay?"
Whisker nodded. "Brother Pearl is okay, for now. But the others are in trouble. I don't know what is happening, but if we don't do something soon, they'll slowly die."
Alex sucked in a deep breath. "Is it urgent? Do they need my help right now?" he asked. He didn't have a way to help them if that was the case.
"Not right now, but any time now," Whisker said.
Alex calmed down. "Alright, take a break and explain to me what is happening. Explain everything from the start."
Whisker took a deep breath and calmed down as he began explaining it all.
His explanation began from the day when Pearl was sent into the Demon realm. From Pearl, Whisker had learned that the Gods had gone against Alex. They could feel Alex's situation somewhat with the bond between them, but then, even that bond had disappeared.
