As Rain stepped outside, his eyes fell upon the first group he encountered—his father's. Despite the evident signs of exhaustion and wounds, the warriors were sprinting with remarkable speed. Some members of the group carried their injured comrades from the battlefield. Roan, Dana, Kei, and Gila kept a vigilant watch over the group, but Rain couldn't spot his mother and grandparents among them. The urgency and determination in their movements hinted at the severity of the situation, igniting a sense of concern in Rain's heart…
Although they arrived a bit sooner, Rain couldn't see them being chased by any dragons… it would be troublesome if the monsters decided to attack some town or village along the way, even though that would give them time to prepare more.
"... It seems that you guys had one hell of a battle here…" Roan said when he found Rain. "Sorry for not being able to buy more time."
