Devaguea frowned, before tilting his head to the side slightly. After a moment, he glanced to his left and right, before turning back to Jubilost. "You have no idea what has happened in the last nine months, do you?"<br/><br/>Once the cries of shock and disbelief were done, the dragon sighed, before telling Jubilost what had happened during the nine months they had been 'gone.' The standard three months for mapping crews having come up right as reports of something odd happening in Varnhold had started, leading to his team not reporting in getting lost in the shuffle to understand how the occupants of a city had vanished, and then dealing with the cyclops lich that had been the cause. Then another couple of months dealing with the massive issues of annexing Varnhold, and the other nations swinging by to start trying to muscle in, before Devaguea had realized that Jubilost had never reported in due to the kingdom map never being updated.<br/><br/>He then quickly summarized the spells used to try and find the group, narrowing down the location until they found the stone, and then dealing with six Xills that had nested around the monolith, before he had examined the monolith, and discovered it was supposed to be linked to another planet, he suspected the elven homeworld, but something was wrong and the spells in the monolith weren't aligning correctly. How he had managed to twist the spells in the monolith enough to jump across, without the rest of his group, and found the group all asleep. "And that is what happened. However, from your reaction, I am going to ASSUME it hasn't been quite that long for your group?"
