Bridging Worlds: Book 1 Celestoria's Time

Chapter Silent Urgency



The group returned to the Minstrel Chalice. They decided to stay by Kiryo’s side, showing their unwavering support. They took turns watching over him, making sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed for a speedy recovery.

As they sat together in the cozy corner of the tavern, the atmosphere around them grew livelier. Geran, Davhil, and Eowyn took the opportunity to catch up on their own adventures and share tales of their past conquests. Rosche, ever the optimist, suggested, “While we’re here, let’s make the most of it. We can relax for a while and recharge our spirits. And when Kiryo is back on his feet, we’ll embark on our next adventure.”

They nodded in agreement and continued to enjoy the warmth of the tavern and the camaraderie that bound them together. They knew that their bonds of friendship and their dedication to one another were just as important as their quest for riches and adventure.

In the gathering dusk of the approaching evening, Eamon discreetly slipped away from the Minstrel Chalice Tavern, his movements shrouded in the dim light of the setting sun. As he ventured into the growing twilight, he sensed a subtle change in the atmosphere, a presence that seemed to blend with the coming night.

In the half-light, a figure materialized before him, casting a shadowy message. Eamon accepted the message and quickly read its contents. His expression shifted noticeably, his features reflecting a sense of urgency and resolve, as if he were suddenly compelled to act.

Eamon, after receiving the cryptic message and spending some time outside the tavern, returned quietly to the Minstrel Chalice Tavern. His expression had regained its usual composure, and he slipped back into the cozy corner where Rosche, Geran, Davhil, and Eowyn were still gathered. They exchanged knowing glances, acknowledging that Eamon had a private matter to attend to.

Rosche, with a friendly smile, asked, “Everything alright, Eamon?”

Eamon nodded, keeping his secrets to himself for the time being. “Yes, everything is fine. Just had a moment to clear my head,” he replied, and they resumed their camaraderie, unaware of the mysterious message and Eamon’s sudden, brief departure into the gathering night.

As they continued chatting and enjoying their time at the Minstrel Chalice Tavern, Geran, ever watchful, noticed that Kiryo’s condition had worsened. He placed a hand on Kiryo’s forehead and immediately detected the telltale warmth of a fever.

Geran’s concern deepened, and he said, “Kiryo has a fever. We need to act quickly. Rosche, Eowyn, could you help him?”

Rosche, always ready to take charge, nodded and stood up. “Of course, Geran. Eowyn, would you mind coming with me? We’ll need to fetch a basin of hot water and a towel from downstairs. I’ll also ask the innkeeper for any remedies they might have.”

Eowyn, replied, “Of course, Let’s go.”

They both headed downstairs, leaving the rest of the group to tend to Kiryo and wait anxiously for their return. The tavern’s lively atmosphere suddenly took a backseat to the group’s collective concern for their ailing companion.
