☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Upon returning to headquarters, Garret warmly greeted the returning Hellessian trio, patted Alaria on the shoulder, congratulating them on their first successful joint mission, and then headed to his room to process what had happened. Entering the room, he playfully saluted the statuette waiting for him. "Hey, Snow White, I'm back! Yeah, it feels like I was gone for a short time, but it feels like a hundred years have passed..." / ..! ..? / "Of course, of course, how could it be without him. Whew, so much has happened, you wouldn't believe it! I don't even know where to begin." Garret places Harold next to the figurine. ... "Oh? Yes, of course, buddy, you're a real help, tell me everything! I'm sure you'll do a great job!" ... ... ... ... ..! ... ... ... ... . . . ?.. ...! ... x) ! . . . ?! №9 ?! ... ..! ..! ... "Uh? No, that was just a little rhyme. But he's not making up the story about the disappearing megadrake, can you imagine! And the enraged one too, wow... It was tough, but if it had attacked me, I probably would have been done for, but our strong guys held out, see?" / ..! ... ^^ / "Come on, what are you talking about... I just kept shooting until that cursed sword calmed down. And the girls helped out too, Erefir just bam with her sword, then with another, she was ready to jump in and fight hand-to-hand. And Alaria, whoosh-whoosh with flaming arrows like a dedicated fakir, what a show." / ... ... )) / ... x) "He-he, that's right, Stallia is a beauty, and her appearance was something else, and how she dealt with Valis. Portals are power! And Ruby is so intimidating and seems completely indifferent, but she still listened to ordinary mortals, amazing. These saints here are really interesting, Lungwort's Felicia is resting." ... ... / . . . :,( / "That's true, it's a pity what happened to Merel. Even though he was a bit of a loner, he was still a loyal comrade, he was with us from the very first mission in Carneol, they shared so many successes and hardships together, and then, suddenly, he was erased from existence in an instant... It's sad, what can you say. May his memory be bright, and may his soul rest in the cosmic expanse. Let's honor his involuntary sacrifice with a moment of silence." . . . /. . ./ "That's it. Now let's wait for Kalinka and go to kick the ass of the evil enemy for the good of the merciful Anush and in the name of saving Welfern. Yes, buddy, today we are heroes, not villains, who would have thought. I'm shocked myself, what a curious twist of fate. Fit-ha!"
