Nectus to the rescue

I hoped that my dragon riders will find the escaped humans before they reach their village.

They didn't.

Despite all efforts of the Beemarine and Beehound dragon riders, the scaly bird-brains would rather fly anywhere but to where these humans were walking!

All this time, Ambrosia was not-so-quietly glad that I wasn't going on a dangerous mission *yet*, at least.

Only two days later, I got to sit in the empty Council Chamber and listen to some news.

"We saw them in the village, Father! And I mean our sisters," Invincible-13 reported, gesturing at her companion. "Hound-Solo is ready to describe everything."

Hound-Solo nodded, but didn't stop wrangling her wrists. She was standing so close to Invincible-13 that their shoulders were touching, and clearly wanted nothing more but to hide behind the Beemarine's back.
