Realization (2)

On a night three days after Rain managed to kill the spies, he felt that most of his body was back to normal. Around the same time, he noticed that Liss had finally made some serious progress with her training. While she needed to total focus, she could use the mana that she recovered during meditation to warm things around her in a five meters radius.

"Ahhh, this is life…" Asche said while feeling truly relaxed thanks to the warmth.

"Don't drop your guard; we still didn't do anything in this mission," Jori said. "The progress of the fortress speed up in the last few days, so if the enemies might do something, it will be soon," 

Rain wondered if that was true… Jori had some good instincts sometimes, but Rain didn't feel alerting him yet. However, once night fell, and Rain began to check the area around, he soon saw numerous auras approaching from north, south, and west.
