He though a small pouch to Haley, the clinging sounds identified the pouch as the party's payment. Finally, she thought, the whole trek through the wilderness wasn't for nothing. After leaving to find his map, Haley asked if the group should head back or follow Vară's suggestion to get some food. [color=ed1c24]"After all the walking, I really could use the recharge. Um...I imagine you wouldn't mind having a bite either, Titanica?"[/color] She said, still a little nervous that Titanica didn't revert back to her human form. [color=ed1c24]Ahem, at any rate, what I'm not looking forward to is the long walk back home. Haley, I don't suppose you saw any quicker, less...rough pathways while flying to us?"[/color] [hr] [center][h3][color=6ecff6]❄️Nagare❄️[/color][/h3][/center] It seemed that Jote would not be convinced of the danger of Varjo without prove. Freyr began to speak as though he was losing hope, much to the dismay of the ice dragon. However, before she could speak, Ditzy made an outburst saying that they would go as far as to bring a Varjan soldier to the forest with them. [color=6ecff6]"Ditzy..."[/color] She felt that his words may have been out of place, but deep down she felt the same way. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by a strange wind. The magic Nagare felt from the swaying trees sounded almost like a message. This was later confirmed by Jote, who hastily made her way back in the room, a dreadful expression on her face. To everyone's fear, Nera was captured. [color=6ecff6]"What? No, we have...we have to help her!"[/color] Nagare turned to Freyr with a critical look in her eye. Not only did she want to save Freyr's childhood friend as quickly as possible, but she also wanted to know who else beside themselves could have gotten this far in the forest. It didn't make sense...right now.
