'Damn…' Azel blinked as his vision adjusted to the sunlight.
He had already left the entire underground section of the tower, and the strangest part was that he didn't even have to be careful.
There was no movement in the building.
In fact, there wasn't a single living thing anywhere near the tower grounds.
It was like the entire place had been evacuated or abandoned overnight.
"Elarielle wasn't kidding," Azel muttered under his breath. "They're not even around the castle anymore. They could be anywhere on the island… except the main Academy grounds."
But that wasn't the thing that shocked him most… What caught his eye was something even more absurd.
He had already left the grounds and was now roaming a small forest nearby and he found someone meditating… right in the open.
Velkin sat cross-legged at the base of a tall tree with her head slightly bowed as if this island wasn't currently crawling with death and nightmares.
