"There is no need for you to go anywhere." Haria's words rumbled throughout the battlefield, and everyone turned their heads towards her.
Those who still had some strength left in them knelt while the others simply placed a fist on their heart to greet the god's descendant.
Rion also turned towards her, watching as she made her way to the front with Kuro and Balthar following behind her.
His unease lessened greatly, and a relieved sigh escaped him.
Haria appeared beside him, but instead of halting there, she stopped a few steps before him to showcase her authority and said, "You did well, Rion."
He nodded, though worry still darkened his expression.
Kuro and Balthar appeared beside him and glanced at him before turning their heads back at her.
The whole place descended into silence as she stared into the deep purple fog forest, and everyone's hearts began to pound loudly as nearly everyone had concluded that something had gone wrong.
