The elven guards escorted the suspicious band of travelers through the northern villages and brought them in front of High Emperor Lacillor.
“Lord Jake, thank God you are here!” cried out one of the men from the group. It was none other than Count Ferol’s only son, Edmund.
The group the elves had caught was Jake’s own one. Lucis, Edmund and the others had taken refuge inside an abandoned shack during the warlock attack. After the danger had passed, they had decided to venture outside to look for food. That was when the elven guards, who were looking for wounded elves, had spotted them. Though Lucis and Edmund could have easily taken on the elven Ordinaires, Marcus had advised them not to attack the guards since it might jeopardize Jake and Emily's planned peace negotiations.
