Even though it was highly unlikely something would happen inside Ascension territory, Nellara still kept vigilant for most of the trip, watching the surroundings like an eagle, watching every movement and every shadow. Her orders for the soldiers were similar. Always have a group of soldiers up at all times while the others rested. Upon arriving at Ertiseda, a small village between the human ship crash site and Lenkik, the humans would quickly notice that the vigilance was even more intense, with a surprising number of soldiers camping near the small village on a military encampment.

Such intense vigilance might have had an adverse effect on the humans though, as Nellara noticed Captain Zeynep asking Kareet if the waterways were indeed safe.

[color=d3c28b]"With that said, we do not like to leave things to chance. Especially giving how important and significant your visit to Arcaeda is."[/color] Nellara said, nodding towards the soldiers stationed nearby Ertiseda as they guided them to the barge that would take them upstream.

[color=d3c28b]"Even in the very unlikely chance something happens, we are well prepared to preserve the well being and safety of you and your crew, as both our guests and diplomatic envoys."[/color] Nellara reassured, looking to the large amount of soldiers that came from Lenkik, to be sure everything would go exactly as planned while escorting the humans to Arcaeda.
