Aella looked at the sky, "What's taking them so long?" She sighed. It was almost lunchtime.
ZON! At that moment, Arad emerged out of thin air with Mira in his arms in the middle of the garden. "Aella, we're back," He waved his arm at her. She was in the kitchen staring at them from the window.
Arad put Mira on the ground, and she barely managed to stand. She didn't feel it in the heat of the moment, but now, she was more than just sore. Her knees started shaking as she leaned on him.
Aella sighed, drying her hands and walking out of the house. "You were a bit too rough on her." She approached them.
"Aella, you should have warned me." Mira stared at her, almost crying.
"But it wasn't that bad, was it?" Aella smiled and then started at Arad. "You better let her rest for the day. I got a letter from the guild."
Aella pulled the letter from her pocket and handed it to Arad. "Alcott and Ginger are going on a quest. The guild wants you to go with them."
