It had been three days and Iris had remained unconscious. The rest of their group decided to continue their travel, with Ricci volunteering to carry their lady on her back. None of them uttered a single word since that fateful night and kept their thoughts to themselves. The night was fast approaching and they needed to find a shelter soon to rest for the night.
Amelia and Chrysanthe were both worried about Iris's condition, and when Chrysanthe noticed a smear of dry blood on Iris's clothes, she asked Amelia for help and they both checked where it was coming from.
With Ricci's help, they moved the unconscious Iris next to the riverbank to cleanse her. The moon was high up in the sky, and only the sound of crickets could be heard from a distance. Oddly, Iris's black wyvern looked sick and wasn't moving and they decided to leave it in Liliana's care for a while.
