"They aren't really raids. Well, we are not. Else I'd have come along with them, right?" Chiara shrugs, sighing. "I'm here for wound mending. The others are too volatile to be considered liable. I... might have overheard them talking."

"Doesn't matter since I heard "raiding party" and "come back" in the same sentence, but anyways I don't care much for Legions problems as long as Hollownest isn't involved."

"Okay..." She entered the lab and sat in the patient seat, watching as Willow cleaned her arm and quickly stuck a needle in.

"This should be quick."

---

He stood outside, pretty much just standing there, watching Willow work. He hummed quietly, flipping through his notebook. He flipped to a new page, then started sketching.

"Ah, of course. Sorry about making you uncomfortable." Yue led him to the bathroom but a thought crossed his mind. He shook it off and heard Sela speak. "Gah, I'm sorry I have to go!"

"I know the layout of the castle, if we plan to attack it head on. Or are you planning to capture all the inhabitants of Wildana?" Peter slowed down, walking alongside Azazel.

Azure blue skies streaked with white filled her view as Andrea exited the palace. She had asked around, but it seemed that Legion was busy. Not that she minded, that was just how she liked it. That serenity that came with being alone. She passed by the camp, nodding to those who were there, following a track that led into the woods. Maybe she should spend some time practicing her magic? Yes…a training session was in order. It simply wouldn’t do to let her skills fail her if she needed them. The goody-two-shoes were pesky annoying insects that deserved to be trampled upon, but she wasn’t going to overlook their own skills. Could you imagine losing to those people? Stupid fairy tales of happily ever after, of castles and unicorns and rainbows and whatnot. Pfft. Like Happily Ever After was ever a real thing. She’d spent so long trying to be nice, yet how did she get repaid? Happy endings were for those fools who believed such a thing existed. In this world it was either kill or be killed. Andrea inhaled deeply, putting her emotions aside to deal with later. Soon she would destroy the land. But not now. Andrea made a small cut on her finger, using her other hand to draw the blood out. When there was enough of it, Andrea turned them into small knives, which hovered all around her. She thrust her hand forward, and sent them slicing through the air, embedding themselves into a neat row on the nearby tree. She walks over, staring at them from up close, before tutting disapprovingly. Not all of them were perfectly spaced apart. That was not good. In battle, that could mean failure. And failure was unacceptable. As she observed her work, she felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her head. Her hands flew up to that area, and her vision blurred, before she blacked out.

Andrea found herself in a small cottage. She sat up, still groggy. “Eh..?” It was around evening, the sun having set just a while ago, the sky stuck between a pinkish-orange that seemed to be turning darker. Glancing around, she saw a young boy standing and staring at her. “Kendooo…..Stop staring at me…it’s creeping me out” Kendo grins, telling her to come and play hide and seek, before counting. “1- 2- 3-“ Andrea smiles, running out of the house and scrambling into her favourite spot. A abandoned rabbit hole, covered with bracken. Andrea waited and waited. The sky turned dark and then light again….but Kendo was nowhere to be seen. “Kendo? Where are you?” Andrea whispered, feeling scared. “KENDO” She screamed, her heartbeat quickening, sprinting out of her hiding spot, screaming and looking frenziedly for her friend. The house? No. The forest? No. The longer she searched, the more despaired she became, before she finally allowed herself to break down, realising that she was alone.

Andrea regained consciousness, jolting up in the real world, sweating. That was precisely why she hated so many of them. And then there was that fearful kidnapping immediately after that incident……

Azazel said nothing as they walked. After a bit of silence, he said, “Silent ambush from the border.” This Peter fellow was quite talkative. To Azazel, he was very unlikable. He sped up, not too much that he would lose Peter, but enough to where he didn’t have to see him.

Selaphiel nodded and flew off, looking ahead of her. It was only partly cloudy out, so they didn't have to deal with rain for now. "Hurry up!"

---------------------------

Quickly as she started, Willow finished and replaced the bandages on Aret's arms. She let her go and waved her away. "Later today, Legion will be going away. He's bringing you." She glared at Willow and left, standing next to Kendo.

---

He nodded. "Alright." He fell silent, fiddling with the bottles on his belt. Robertta finally caught up with him and leapt on his shoulder before giving him reprimanding chirps.

"Coming, miss! Wait up!" Yue ran after, waving to Adrik. "See you later, if I may. Goodbye!"

---

He sneezed, nearly dropping his notebook. He blinked, rubbing his nose with a sniff.

"Is... someone thinking about me?"

---

Lean did have a broom like Iteral, as she sighed at it. "I wish I had my Lancia..." She mutters, picking up the less mobile ones and making Caspian sit on everyone's lap before she starts flying behind Selaphiel.

---

"We're going to head to the easternmost peninsula. There should be a kingdom around there with many strong paladins." She explained quickly, speeding up.

--------------------------

"I do all the time." She said casually- before breaking out in an intense blush and shaking her head. "Wait- no! I didn't mean that!"

---

He snickered.

"Really, Ms. Saint? For what reason could you possibly be thinking about me? Hopefully nothing too impure, Miss Goody Two-Shoes."

---

She blanked out for a moment, thinking. That seemed to confirm it. Then she looked away, covering her impossibly red face. "Shut up shut up shut up!"

---

He laughed.

"Aren't you supposed to be the 'Pure and Innocent' Saint? Is my sinful presence corrupting your innocent mind, Ms. Saint?"

---

"N-No! Of course not!" She was about to explode. "Stupid! You were the one who brought this up, not me!" She didn't dare look at him, lest he joke about her flustered expression as well.

---

"Was your face always that shade of red, Aret, or was that just me?"

He grinned mischievously, clearly having WAY too much fun teasing her.

---

He sighs in sign of boredom.
"What I should do now? They talk about raids..and stuff like this.". He thinks and looks at the sky. "Maybe I can help in the battles...?". He paused. "Raids. Yeah. That's how they call it, raids!"

He starts walking around thinking. "But Im not really a fighter,plus I dont like fighting" - He sighs

---

"No no no no no no-" She placed her hands on his face, trying to cover his eyes. "You're teasing me! That's not fair! Besides, weren't you blushing when I kissed you? I didn't know you'd get so pink after the smallest little bit of affection!" She shot back.

---

"Fair point, you've got there. Not as red as you, though."

He snickered softly, brushing her hand away.
