An Extra’s POV

'It's quite brave of her to go against their wishes and come here; all for the sake of her people's survival.' Ater thought to himself.

The one who also aided her in this plan was also a member of the Council, but the fact that she wasn't here with Aurora showed that the Rune was as far as she was willing to go when it came to help.

'But it's thanks to all of these circumstances that this event has unfolded.' Ater couldn't help but smile devilishly as he watched the Elves huddle together and activate the power within the scroll.

Once Aurora ripped the parchment into two, a bright light enveloped the space and power spread through everyone and everything around.

The howling of winds danced within the cave, once again causing the aroma permeating around to tingle the noses of the Elves once again.

"Will we ever return to this place?" Ater heard one of the Elves say.

If he remembered correctly, her name was Lila.

Aurora shook her head in response, though, just as he knew she would.

"My actions are in contradiction to the will of the Esteemed Council. I will most likely be punished for my transgression."

Despite saying this, her stern and resolute demeanor did not falter.

She remained steadfast in all her manners.

"I am aware of the sin that I have committed, so I accept my inevitable fate. The punishment I shall receive is of little consequence to me. As long as our people thrive and drive away the Dragons… that is all that matters."

Once again, Ater couldn't help but feel slightly touched by her genuine dedication.

He could relate to it somewhat when he considered how his Master often limited certain actions of his when they would be of utmost benefit to him.

Still, he could not complain.

'All in due time…'
