Erend who had changed back to his human form looked at Aurdis.
Aurdis's face was radiant. Erend also seemed to notice that her blue eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Was this due to the effect of her climbing his palm earlier?
"Thanks, Erend! I thought I was the only one in this world who ever climbed on the palm of a Dragon," Aurdis said.
Seeing how Aurdis was now, it seemed impossible that she had just faced a life-and-death battle a few minutes earlier.
Erend cracked a smile. "You're welcome. Now it looks like you can travel safely."
"Yes! There will be no problems in this forest area," Aurdis said. "You're going straight back home?"
"Yes, of course. Since you're safe, I can go home in peace."
Aurdis smiled and looked at Erend. Erend caught Aurdis's gaze that fell into his eyes.
Those blue eyes were like a boundless ocean and suddenly drowned him there.
