“The rumors are not a lie. Vina has killed Faer”, Haco said to the assembled twelve who could make it. “His death and our loss of the Aspect of Travel is a major setback to our war plans. We no longer have the ability to quickly move troops and supplies to the warfront. We are now forced to rely exclusively on the use of portal rings”, she paused to allow her words to sink in.

“Ann is not yet ready to fight, and with the portals closed in Halos, neither she nor Adir will be able to help us anytime soon. We need to hold on until they both return. I’ll be heading directly to Lampasa in the next few days. This will be a full mobilization of the twelve to the front lines across the seven fronts. Additionally, the portal rings we own will be repositioned to provide better resupply. This will require new addresses to be created and distributed. Lampasa will be providing the vast majority of the supply lines for the war fronts.”

“What about the protection of our smaller towns and cities?” Gij asked.

“There will be a full alert for the guards and active recruitment will begin for the creation of a militia in each of our cities. I’ll be traveling between the various towns to provide protection to ensure our borders are secure. The rest of the twelve will be going to the warfront. Gij, I want you to head directly to Carda and Zerah. They are facing down an incredible push against Randar. The fate of the Adventurer’s Guild will be decided in the next few weeks”, Haco said.

“Tell us about The Shaper”, Tacey said coldly.

Haco sighed deeply, “After reporting Faer’s death, The Shaper has declined to join us at this moment. They have let me know that they are intending to find Vina and will return to their duties after they have accomplished their goal.”

Nil spoke up, “Haco, I’d like to be open here. When I met her, Vina seemed like a child, young, new, innocent, and impulsive. Somehow though, she has succeeded in killing two of us and trapped two more clear across the world. Now, The Shaper has become obsessed with her. I suggest we consider either focusing on eliminating her or giving up on her entirely. At what point…” his voice stopped when a window popped up in everyone’s vision.

The room went dead quiet for a few seconds before Gij spoke once more, “Someone did it. Someone found Trina!”

The next moment Haco and four others of the twelve cried out in pain.
