Suddenly, they saw Maximus's figure rushing toward them from the darkness, his movements were hurried and unsteady.
His face was filled with panic and confusion, as if he had just woken up in the middle of a nightmare and could not tell where it ended.
"What the hell?" he blurted out as soon as he reached them. "Where were you? And what happened to me?"
He barely gave them time to breathe before continuing. "Why was I on the ground? And why does everything feel off? Who are the men inside cleaning all the blood?"
Ethan and Leila exchanged a look.
Both of them sighed at the same time, knowing there was no point in hiding anything now.
They gestured for him to calm down and began explaining everything from the moment they entered the inn to the ambush, the cultists, and the sudden appearance of the Hounds.
They spoke slowly but thoroughly, making sure not to miss even a single detail.
