On the way to and from the villa, Alaria carefully looked around. Had the number of people on the streets decreased? Had the shops closed? Was life continuing as usual, or had the crowds of carefree onlookers been replaced by groups whispering to each other? Margel has changed a lot in just one summer, and the residents are unlikely to forget the visiting dragon anytime soon. If the capital of the empire isn't wiped off the face of Anush, to the delight of the sick bastard who released Despair. It was strange to watch the reunion of the "Carnelian," but that's not surprising. These were people close to each other, who had been through thick and thin together. On the one hand, the sight of a warm reunion warmed the soul. On the other hand, it was strange not to feel like an outsider at this celebration of life. Nevertheless, such a sight was just another confirmation that she had come to the islands for a reason – together, Garret and Erefir might not have been able to cope with Valis, or they might have emerged as cripples unfit for the upcoming mission. It would be painful to watch the once radiant and energetic Lady Darvening turn into a shadow of her former self, unable to even stand upright without help. Not to mention protecting Margel from the winged threat.
