The file contained holograms depicting the physical appearance of all Orpal's known aliases, Night's trademark spells, and Baba Yaga's spell to destroy the Horseman.

Lith also warned his contacts on Jiera to be wary of any unknown Awakened who had suddenly appeared after the fall of the Golden Griffon and to keep the hunt for Night a secret from anyone they didn't trust. _{freёwebnovel.com}

"What's the point? Meln isn't stupid enough to use his real appearance and it's not like you can include his energy signature in the bounty either." Kamila said in frustration.

"True, but based on what the cursed objects Meln sent after Solus said, Night has been ostracized by their kin as well." Lith replied.

"Now if Meln is cornered and uses one of his spells in front of an Awakened, his cover will blow and all those who met him will be able to recognize him no matter what form he takes.

"Also, I've just given the local cursed objects the means to destroy him. Meln's life on Jiera has just become as dangerous as on Garlen and the best part is that he won't know it until it's too late."

Jiera Continent, Wayfinder's camp.

"For how much longer do I have to stay here?" Kelia asked. "I thought that as soon as the people of the Kingdom were done building their Warp Gate, you would have sent over the materials to build our own.

"Patience, my child." The Empress shook her head. "The Wayfinder is not only a means of transportation, but also the only defense both our expeditions are going to have until the fortifications of our respective settlements are completed.

"Even with the Black Tide gone, there are many threats on Jiera and we have no allies there.

"Without the Wayfinder, the people of the Kingdom would be vulnerable to an attack. First, they need to finish to fortify the area and place permanent arrays. Then they can lend us the Wayfinder.

"The starting point of our colony must be far away enough from the Kingdom's to avoid conflicts while they expand. It also requires a mana geyser and to be as safe as possible.

"The search is going to take a while and after we find the right place, we are going to need protection as well. We are going to keep the Wayfinder until our Gate and settlement are complete or our mages will be sitting ducks.

"During all that time, the Kingdom's colony is going to be on its own, and without the personnel they'll send along with us to operate the Train and the DoLoreans. You can't expect them to gracefully hand everything to us and trust that we won't try to crack the secrets of such powerful artifacts out of the goodness of our hearts."

"I understand, mother." Kelia gave the Magic Empress a deep bow. "I didn't mean to rush things, I'm just eager to return home. My fifth year of academy is going to start soon and with Verhen gone, there's not much I can do here."

"Don't worry. Your break has barely started and from now on things are going to proceed quickly." Milea replied.

"What if our mages and I started looking for a good site for the camp? It would save us time and-"

"Absolutely not!" The Empress cut Kelia short. "The Gate also ensures that whatever happens, the members of the expedition can receive reinforcements or leave Jiera at any moment.
