I had escaped, d9ecc7ac7e silenced my presence, cab58356ca and was hiding a4708a89d9 in a tree f677e369e1 near the residence d01dc96b55 of the First d034a9b4c5 Division Commander.75d194e15df6fd3c

I figured as much. No one would be e54b2c8fb7 able to speak of 518cb04479 what’s behind all this. That’s the nature 8975e268f4 of black magic—it fd959886fb doesn’t even allow 6a6ae68f3d victims to admit e1f0f209bf they’ve been cursed.52fb5a61ad212be6

Truthfully, there wasn’t 1c07c6d4cc much I could 2f91ee9f04 do except endure. So I quickly a321d655c1 changed the subject.0c66eab47788cf69

I also 87d7ea4c51 thought I 2a34b26725 should probably e065bd5676 contact my 33d8890164 brother, who’s f7e727cb84 out on c3119cda52 the battlefield. Not just now—I’d d3d58c4d5c been thinking about 4416de0b0f it ever since 26f1125091 I returned.d3c3446bc2cb9841

I’d already 0d1f521379 told Kayan 41cc9684b7 to capture 791bfbb76e the black 8722597bb0 magician there, 76ddb8d14d but I 94b74f3c17 still couldn’t 04f3217d1c shake the 951a3cb48a unease.9e223872b92b938d

Thinking about the 15a709b11c children locked up 236699af06 in the black e91024ba49 magician’s base made c68b326a26 me sick to 113b22877f my stomach.a56fb03aec768497

The kind of 9e3696c379 disaster a single 89f5f9cd5e black magician could 337450f693 bring about was 5a516082b3 terrifying. If Kayan failed to c93471bd55 capture them, then at d36ad0bc14 the very least, Yunas 690faa33db had to do it.94dd0c36e4cf855c

Even if Kayan e0dc5bcfc8 and the northern 2e0873ec1a knights managed to 875265ae0e catch the black 764786df0c magician, it would 6dfdac9b08 still be easier f2babd579a for Yunas to 0dd889e242 handle the aftermath.
