"You have wings??" River asked, throwing his hands in the air. "Why do you have wings?? How do you have wings??" 

"And why do they look a little … worn out?" Asher asked, touching Ace's wings, growing even more confused the longer he looked at it. 

"Perhaps because they are." Ace answered, shrugging as he stared at the two men in front of him, a frown coming on his face as his eyes landed on Vaha. "How is she doing by the way?" 

General Longbow looked at the unconscious woman before sighing, "I don't really know. We have been meaning to take her to the town but we could not just leave you like that. 

"Not to mention … we thought you were dead." 

"Ah," was all Ace could say as he looked at the both of them closely, a slight smile coming on his face. 

Well, technically … I did but … didn't at the same time. Oh well, they don't need to know that.
