With the enemies routed and the prisoners feed from captivity, the ice dragon's large form began to dissipate into icy mist as Nagare's humanoid form took shape. She let out a large sigh of relief after the battle, her heart still pounding and body still throbbing with adrenaline. 

[color=6ecff6][i]Thank goodness. I was afraid we weren't going to make it for a moment.[/i][/color] Nagare thought to herself. This was the first time she participated in a battle of any kind. She had to say, she wasn't a fan. The smell of blood, the sound of metal piecing and slicing through flesh, all of it made the young ice dragon sick to her stomach. 

Nagare then turned to the prisoners freed by Yang, she couldn't understand their language but she could tell they were cheering. If fighting can sometimes lead to similar outcomes, perhaps it was worth it. She smiled lightly at the scene. 

Meanwhile, Vară had thankfully been able to save Neil from being skewed by the foot soldier. The boy seemed to be unharmed albeit a little shaken. Having recovered, the two met up with the others and escorted the prisoners back to the port. Maria and the freed captives gave their heartfelt thanks to the group, in addition to their much needed payment. 

They made their way back to the guild later that night. Vară had kept silent when Yang asked about last night, fearing for her life if anything were to slip. She shot a glance at Neil before leaving for her quarters, there were some things she needed to mull over for the night. A lot has happened in the past few days. 

Nagare seemed to be in high spirits, having successfully completed another quest and receiving ample payment for the job.

[color=6ecff6]"I'm glad everyone is fine as well! And we finally have enough money to pay for the hole in the wall."[/color] Said the ice dragon with a cheer. 

[color=6ecff6]"Um, Mr. Freyr? I actually wanted to thank you personally. You were willing to defend me from those attackers all by yourself, all to buy me time to escape. I was able to fend off the knights, but I shudder to think how it would've turned out had you not been there. Thank you very much."[/color] Nagare gave a bow to extend her gratitude to her fellow guildmate.
