After settling in the dryads, Blake went a few miles out from the outposts to see Bret and the rest of the Destiny City Military digging bands of trenches. "Bret, how is it?"
"It's going okay. We are sticking up barriers above the trenches to block incoming attacks. I have to admit magic is much handier than anything in the past. We lined everything with stone using earth magic and even casted the barriers deep underground, so unless they have a strong mage on their side, they would not be able to dig us out easily. By the way, Blake, who's the beauty next to you, a new wife?" Bret asked, looking at Leafia.
Blake was confused as he turned to see Leafia still at his side. He thought she stayed behind! "Leafia?"
"I wanted to see how the Lord of Destiny City went about his daily tasks…." Leafia replied while averting her eyes.
