Valken could hear the shouts and the sounds of battle just up a head, yet still he did not hurry. 8 people against an illusion spell even as powerful as that is enough to bring it down. And so Valken crawled up a tree and took flight from it reaching the elvish city with in minutes and opening an orange portal in mid air, flying through it only to appear on top of one of the housed buildings. He needed only to listen and he would find his fish friends....supposedly.
Valken hopped from one building to the next until reaching the building where he heard familiar voices. Valken crawled on the wall of the building and towards the window, dragging it open with his long, sharp talons and scuttling inside. He still hung on the wall just above the window, promptly he closed it. He knew who was in the room particularly because he could smell Nova through the window. He kept crawling towards the ceiling and hung upside down, encasing himself in his wings and rubbing them against him as he was a little cold. Valken sent a few sound waves out to survey the room and get a sense where everything was and once he established that was when he decided to acknowledge Nova's existence.
"I think I need you to do me a favor.."
