Zena placed Atlas gently on the ground before returning to her human form and started fussing over him. ''Are you okay? Sorry I couldn't get to you in time,'' she asked in a worried voice.

When Zena heard this, she scanned their surroundings before spotting something and turned to him with a concerned expression while revealing. ''Theres a Snow Bear cave over there. I'll go kill the monster and we can stay there.''

''Okay, be careful,'' Atlas commented while sitting up and rubbing his head.
