William found it hard to believe that a magic academy would allow its students to embark on such a dangerous expedition. It didn't make sense. What kind of institution would risk their students' lives like this?
"You're saying the other students are down here in this fissure too?" William asked, his brows furrowed. "Or are they somewhere else?"
Asir nodded grimly. "Yes, they should be. But like I said, once we descended, a strange fog appeared, and we got separated. It comes and goes, and the only way to stay safe is to lock ourselves inside these houses."
William exchanged glances with Victoria and Sarah. A fog that appeared at random, disorienting people and forcing them into hiding? That wasn't natural.
Sarah's expression darkened as she processed the new information. She had spent countless hours studying everything written about the forbidden zone, yet she had never come across any mention of this fog.
