“Brother, you’re joking. If I had any clues, why would I just happen to run into you here?” Nathaniel smiled, then shifted the topic. “On the other hand, your soldiers look worn out, but their eyes are sharp. Did something good happen to them?”
As he spoke, his gaze carefully scanned Matthias, searching for the smallest hint of something unusual.
But Matthias stayed composed, his voice calm. “We’ve been through wind, frost, rain, and snow and nearly lost our lives. How could that be a good thing?”
“Wind, frost, rain, and snow?” Nathaniel raised his brows, puzzled. “Brother, there are dangers on Fairyharbor Island, yes—but the whole way here looks like spring. Where would there be any frost?”
“The situation’s not entirely clear,” Matthias replied evenly. “Ancient books mention that some places are like separate worlds. If you happen to find the entrance, you’re pulled straight into it.”
“So that’s how it is.” Nathaniel nodded, though his eyes still flickered thoughtfully. He was convinced Matthias had stumbled into some kind of opportunity, and he needed to find a way to test that theory.
“Nathaniel, our supplies are running low. I’ll be counting on you to help keep us going for now,” Matthias said with a faint smile.
