Snippet #2192355

Rania was about to reach the castle grounds when she noticed Azoth talking to someone. How the heck did he get ahead of her?! Last time she saw him, he was sleeping at where he sat after the battle was over. She calmly walked over towards the two just as the person Azoth was talking to introduced herself.

"Azoth, firstly how was your nap, secondly, I'd like to know who she is and wh-" She stopped short when she noticed the two unconscious boys, and recognizing one of them as her eyes widened and her mouth opened in shock. "These three are key wielders, probably the apprentices, otherwise he's just a figment of my imagination." As she thought this she approached one of them and stroked a lock of red hair off his face.

"Dante, thank goodness you're alright." she said to herself as she regained her composure and looked at Azoth. "Well don't just stand there!" She barked at him, "Let's get these two back to town!" As she said this she sheathed her Rapier and put her arm around Dante to lift him onto her shoulder. "Alright Azoth, get the other one." She said in a strained voice. "Either it's just me or Dante gained a few pounds in muscle, cause his deadweight feels slightly heavier." she thought in annoyance. She started to walk, feeling a big weight in her heart come off of her, knowing that her oldest friend was still alive and well. She nodded to the young girl called Azer to follow her to town. "Azoth will catch up to us."

She half wished Derran was here to see this, it would make him feel a lot better that both the Alliance and the Keywielders haven't lost yet.
