Freedom

Bella had been waiting.

She had already released her scent before the armored teleporter took Deka away. 

And she was hoping that it clung to them before they vanished. 

They need Deka for her and the Verdants to survive Dex's attack.

Luckily, it did.

That was all she needed.

She had barely paid attention to Draven's fight because her focus was elsewhere.

She was waiting for the teleporter to smell her scent so her skill would activate.

And he did. 

It was when Bryan built the wall.

Bella smiled as she let everyone know what had just happened.

Dex shook his head in disbelief. His mind refused to accept what was happening.

"How… How did this happen?!"
