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.
