Chapter 1066: Resting In The Druid Guild
-----
(Elayne's POV)
It was a very long day, but it was finally coming to an end.
After our rapid escapade from the Wizard Tower after slaying a dozen Demonic Wizards, uncovering the truth, and bringing as much evidence as we possibly could, we teleported into the Druid Guild and rested for half an hour, just trying to calm down and process everything that happened while drinking herbal tea and eating cookies I already had pre-made.
Granny Austucia was there for us, helping us get better from all the... Well, the shock we felt. Even after everything we've lived, we always need a bit of time to process when stuff this crazy just happens. Maybe in the moment, the adrenaline or whatnot triggers and we can act quickly.
But once we cool down, it just a rush of emotions, most of them are guilt for the things I did, killing so many people, even if monsters, it felt bad... I needed some time to process that, to calm down.
"So that's how it was, huh? You were sent by that damned King and the Queen to do such a dangerous thing! Why did you even agree to this?" sighed Granny Austucia. "Well, I am both relieved and terrified that everything we suspected was true and that the cultists and the wizard guild were indeed one and the same, but..."
"I know how you might feel, granny, don't worry," I smiled. "We did this because we wanted to find out too. This is not for the Kingdom's safety; we did this because the cultists are an enemy of the world. If we can't stop them before it's too late, not only would the Kingdom be threatened, but the entire world too.
This also would include the continent and Lady Verdant, so I believe this also concerns you Druids."
"Hah..." Austucia sighed. "You're not wrong there, young lady. I suppose... I suppose this is also a responsibility, to take down those foes, that threaten everything we've grown to love and appreciate... So now that you've finally found who was behind the mask, what's next?"
"We'll go report this to the King and the Queen. It's already night right now, but we called David and he's already coming here with a carriage to pick us up," I said. "Thank you for helping us get a bit better, granny Austucia, it's really appreciated."
"Oh my, it's alright, dear," she sighed, as I hugged her tightly again, I liked that she smelled like wet dirt and plants. "Have safe travels. Also, you know where to come if you need to talk, alright? The other druids also would like to know you better. Have you considered visiting the Realm again?"
"I have! I think I might go once I got more free time, I'm sorry..." I said. "But right now, we're pretty busy."
"Oh it's alright, don't you worry about it," Granny Austucia said. "More importantly, drink the rest of your tea and be on your merry way, I am sure the King and the Queen are worried about you two, right?"

Now, time to reveal the truth to the rulers once and for all.
