After the fateful lunch at Joey's restaurant, Arad returned to the castle for the afternoon. It didn't look like an afternoon when the whole sky was covered in thick black clouds and heavy rain.
Alice, Tyal, and Claug went to explore the castle while Arad was soon asked by King Gale's scout team if he wanted to accompany them. They are going into the chasm to locate a Cronos Raptur for Tyal to face.
The mission was relatively safe as they just needed to go into the mountains to set up some detection devices.
Arad agreed and left with them moments later. He was riding on Mc even though all of the scouts asked him to find a BETTER mount. There was no way a moose could survive in the frozen hellscape of the Storm Mountains.
Of course, Arad didn't listen to them, and just covered Mc with a lot of barriers and made sure to keep an eye on their surrounding.
Any monster that looked at his precious mount funny would end up as his dinner tonight.
