I returned to my room in the inn and lay down on the bed contemplating the next step. The information that I had gotten from Darren was regarding the hint that Silas had given me when we were talking about me improving my Magic.
I asked Darren and he ended up telling me that the thing on Silas's mind lately was the request that the Mage's Tower had received from the North Duchy.
I managed to coax it out of Darren that the North requested a Mage to go to North to help them subdue the monsters. I had an underlying thought that they might also be thinking of looking for a way to locate the Grand Duke and Duchess, Davian might be hoping to get help in looking for them.
There were two clear possibilities: the Grand Duke and his wife might have been caught up in the blizzard and froze to death and their bodies might just be buried under the snow or fallen into the crevices that formed when avalanches happened. Or, they might be alive somewhere but their time might just be limited.
