"You said that Lord Sobriel sent you to find us?" 
"Aye, and once I accomplish that, I was told to bring you to a place called Lanka Watchtower. Sobriel said you will know where it is."
"Indeed we do. It's a small watchtower. More of a road stop for couriers and such, really." "I definitely need an ally. Lord Sobriel commands a certain wealth of land and soldiers in the northwest. I've got to meet with him before I decide about the future. And Lizbeth is right, we should not linger around. If I'm not mistaken, the Lanka Tower is only an hour away from here by horse. Let's go at once!" And they went, the rain beginning to torment them once more. They begun their journey to meet with Lord Sobriel, unaware that by this moment, Lord Sobriel was already... dead.
~~Chapter 2-2: The Extinguished Hope~~
Indeed, just one hour later, the aformentioned tower was visible between the hills; a small, three-story construction with open top floor and small stable adjacent to it's walls.
The vicinity of the tower was quiet. But there were signs of activity; the shoe prints in the mud in front of the tower, four horses and a young wyvern inside the stable.
Prince Titon slid from Lizbeth's pegasus and then approached the tower, protecting his face from the torrential rain. He froze after noticing a tiny detail...
"The door is open." Captain Orena unsheathed her sword, looking around. Then she took her horse closer to Chalco.
"Chalco, I do not wish to use you as a bait, but could you please enter the tower? Your armor will protect you against any knives in the dark, I believe..." "Did Sobriel betray us?" Titon turned to Orena, but then looked at Odysios.
"I do not know, my Prince, I'm just being cautious."
