Serena had been surprised when a Sol woman approached the two of them, helping her and her sister up, though she didn’t want to admit it, she was grateful for the help, she needed to get her sister into a bed and then go and wash her own injuries, she still wasn’t sure how a simple brawl turned into something so serious.

[color=palegoldenrod]“Oh, yes, thank you for your assistance,”[/color] Serena responded, she did wish to thank her properly, but she didn’t wish to have a conversation whilst she was still bloody and scarred.

When the room was empty, Serena went over to Ava one last time, gently placing her hand on the girl’s forehead, [color=palegoldenrod]“Please be okay and don’t go so overboard next time,”[/color] she spoke quietly to the dragon girl, soon leaving the room, gripping at her shoulder as pain radiated from it, [color=palegoldenrod]“Yeah yeah, you need to be taken care of next, right on it,”[/color] Serena spoke quietly to herself then added in thought [i]I’ll also need to thank that girl that helped me get Ava to the room.[/i]

She soon made it to the washroom removing her clothes, she sucked in some air as she clenched her teeth, looking over her skin, she was cut a lot more than she had thought, but none of her injuries seemed as bad as Ava’s, at least she could still move, so if anything needed to be done, least she wasn’t incapacitated. She gently stepped into the hot water, her body tensing up as she forced to submerge the opened flesh into the steamy water, [color=palegoldenrod]“Wow, that doesn’t feel great,”[/color] she spoke to herself as some of the dried crimson on her washed off.

Aside from her wounds making it difficult to move, her wings were also getting in the way, making it difficult for her to not splash some of the water out and onto the floor, though she loved her wings, she couldn’t deny that they could be impractical at times. As she folded her wings close to her, washing away the red that stained their tips, she thought back to moments ago when her sister had taken on more of a dragon appearance than she already had.

[color=crimson][i]“Dragon’s...Wrath...”[/i][/color]

Serena closed her eyes as she brought her knees to her chest, cocooning her wings around herself for the moment as she remembered the fight between her and Soron, [color=palegoldenrod]“Stupid girl, why would you use that? You still haven’t learned how to control it yet,”[/color] She quietly said aloud; she’d be lying if she said she hadn’t been afraid, not of Ava, but rather of her power, like that it was uncontrollable to her younger sibling and she didn’t know if Ava would ever be able to control it

After taking that moment for herself, she finished washing up and then got a towel, wrapping it around her body she went over to her clothes that were folded nearby, [color=palegoldenrod]“Looks like I’ll need to get these mended, oh well, think I have a spare outfit back in the room,”[/color] Serena said aloud to herself as she held the torn garment up in front of the light, seeing where it passed through.

She left the washroom and then hurriedly made it back to the room Ava was in, removing the towel and bandaged her own wounds before going into her back and then pulled similar clothes to the outfit she wore and stuffed the damaged one back in the bag. She went over to her sibling one last time, gazing down at the resting girl and then headed out of the room, ready to head back downstairs, she needed to give thanks to people who helped and also to apologize for what her sister did, she was sure some were afraid of her, not that she could blame them exactly but she didn’t want Ava to be seen as a bad person.

Serena headed to the stairs, suddenly feeling the building shake caused her to lose her balance and slam her back into the wall, she held back a scream as she curled her bottom lip in, gently biting it with her teeth, some crimson pouring into the bandages, [color=palegoldenrod]“Great, now what’s going on?”[/color] Serena couldn’t believe this, they had already dealt with an escalated fight and now something else was going on.

She rushed back into their room, extending her hand out to her spear and then raised up, the handle pointing to her before flying to her palm, tightly grasping it, she rushed out of the room, doing her best to not disturb Ava, though she was sure that she’d be out for a day or two. She went rushing downstairs, seeing that most of the tavern was empty, no doubt the commotion either drawing people out making them hide somewhere else, she felt the ground shake once more as a red and orange hue flared up outside of the town, [i]What is going on out there?[/i] she couldn’t help but think to herself, it had seemed like moments ago things had only just settled down.

Serena headed out of the Tavern, using her air walking she took a few steps up into the air before flapping her wings and using them to fly through spots in the large tree that allowed people with flight to pass through. When she got a better look at the chaos going on, shock wouldn’t be the word she’d use to describe what she was seeing.

She soon spotted a dragon-like figure in the distance, breathing flame over the attackers, [i]I’m guessing that’s that Suleykaar, that or another dragon just happened to help defend the town.[/i]

[i][color=slategray]"Help protect the town because you want to, not because feel indebted to me, ok Serena?"[/color][/i] Serena thought about the words Soron spoke to her before Serena helped her sister.

[color=palegoldenrod]“Yeah, well I was planning on doing that anyways, kinda owe them after Ava nearly destroyed it herself, plus she’s incapacitated...and I won’t let any further harm come to my baby sister,”[/color] She spoke to herself with more determination, beginning to fly to where the dragon-like was, perhaps Soron was somewhere there as well, she could give them both a boost with her magic and help anyone else who may need it.

As she got closer to the battle, she saw a large amount of dust kick up, suddenly seeing a large man, easily cutting through the troops that were trying to attack him, in the fray she also spotted Soron. Figuring the man was the more immediate threat, she launched multiple bolts of electricity from her spear, following up by summoning her armor to her body, whilst not providing a great deal of protection, it was better than nothing.
