Sarina froze when azdra seemed to show up out of nowhere as the unrestrained aura of an adolescent wyrm washed over her. azdra circled her while sniffing at her with a confused expression since to him she smelled odd. the reason for this was because of sarinas bloodline mutation which made her scent different than literally anything azdra had ever smelt before. millea was even more confused than azdra since as a former goddess she was extremely sensitive to divine presences. this meant millea could notice the divine nature of sarinas bloodline but she also noticed that it was different than any divine bloodline she had any knowledge of. "who are you girl?" she asked seriously. sarina nervously explained who she was and how she had been saved by nick as well as her willing service to him. millea chuckled at the story since that sounded just like the kind of crazy stuff nick would do. millea introduced herself as well as azdra who snorted at her when she called him a big scaly toddler. this caused sarina to relax and laugh from how well the two seemed to get along.

Meanwhile nick started making his way back to the city where he arrived on barwen while trying to be as stealthy as possible. the reason for this caution was due to how suspicious it would seem if he returned to the city so soon after having left to find millea and azdra. to help accomplish his goal of returning to the celestial wind sect safely nick even pushed his thousand faces technique making him feel and look different than normal. unfortunately nick didn't realize that when he tricked the woman following him she called reinforcements in order to ambush him. she did this because she was suspicious that he had found the group so many were after and she refused to fail her mission even if she made an enemy of the frankly terrifying person. half way to the city nick halted suddenly as he felt the space get locked around him preventing him from teleporting. spreading out his senses nick identified seven different auras including the one belonging to the woman. nick could feel the bloodlust radiating from these auras and knew they meant to take his life so he abandoned his disguise and unleashed his power to its fullest.
