While the vampires were all just sitting around in the stream, allowing the magical properties of the water to heal their wounds – both major and minor ones – Evie looked at the dragon who was still crouching down next to the stream. It looked as though it was purposely waiting right at that spot to stay and guard them, allowing them to heal without needing to worry about anticipating any attacks.
She smiled at it when all the adrenaline from all the things that had happened settled. Knowing that most of her men would have perished without this dark dragon's aid, Evie's eyes gloss over in gratitude as she approached it. Her heart felt full and was overflowing in thankfulness.
Since Evie could not leave the water until her men were fully healed, she had walked in the stream until she stood before it. She made sure she was still standing by the edge of the stream, her feet still fully immersed in the water.
