Archer reclined, watching as the people captured by the bandits reappeared, their expressions a mix of relief and disbelief. His gaze swept across the scattered bodies strewn about the scene.
Amidst the people, he noticed a cat woman and a human approaching, their faces beaming with happiness. Intrigued by their mood, Archer couldn't help but wonder about their connection to the chaotic events.
His thinking ceased when the duo reached him, their smiles unwavering. They bowed before him without hesitation, and Archer was caught off guard. The cat woman was the first to speak with a smile. ''White Dragon. Thank you for rescuing us. Our caravan was ambushed as we approached Mistwood Town.
He inclined his head toward the woman, who continued speaking, "I am Selene Orion, and this is my husband, Aricen. We are traders who traverse the Crownlands."
