☀️ Arselia and Akonia

The next day, after a long flight, the second group reached the island of Heles and soon had to make a landing. After confirming that they had a legitimate reason for their arrival, one of the warriors escorted the travelers to his superior.

— Greetings. My name is Rinakat. Unlike you humans, we don't really use titles in our country, so you can call me by my name. So... I was told that you arrived on important business. I would like to hear the details.

- Alright, you damn long-eared freak, listen up...

— Respected Rinakat, — Beata stepped forward and, as usual, gave a short but polite bow. — We are members of the multi-purpose squad "Carnelian," working for... the imperial family of Welfern. My name is Beata, and my companions are named Guion and Kilika. We have come to you at the personal request of Princess Naera es Diesra Arual and Patriarch Anuzish Evgeny Kripov of the Welfern Church," she said, showing sealed envelopes. — Our country is facing a terrible disaster in the form of a raging dragon, destroying everything in its path. It has already struck Margel, our capital, and destroyed the imperial palace," her voice trembled, either with anger or horror. — It is our duty and our desire to protect the land that we consider our home. But defeating this dragon in open battle is a hopeless endeavor. Our respected patriarch said that to win, we need to obtain the blessings of the four elements, and to do this, we need to enlist the support of someone from the saints, blessed by Mother Anuzish herself. Therefore..." she sighed. — I don't know how you will interpret my next request; it may seem strange or even presumptuous to you, but... We are looking for a meeting with your founder, Zephyr. She didn't know how much their host knew about the apostles, but she thought that emphasizing the word "hopeless" would subtly hint at what was going on, if he was smart enough.
