There was only an affirmative hum from Sabine before she resumed her walking. They did not have the daylight left to tarry much longer.

The trio had not spoken much to each other since after Sabine took over. Sabine's tense demeanour and Do'Rhajul's emotions meant that Yerig was the only one maintaining casual talk amongst them. However, now that they were peering around and up for any sign of a dragon, they were completely quiet as they set out from the beach.

They did not travel far before Sabine, of all people, paced herself to walk alongside Do'Rhajul. She held her eyes forward. "When you ambushed us, I used a powerful spell on you," Sabine said. "The blizzard spell. It looked painful. I am sorry."
