Ophelia sighed. “Let’s return to the castle.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t teleport like Nikolai or Sasha.” Vladmir told her, smiling apprehensively.
“Release me.” Ophelia groaned and he let go of her hand slowly.
When an arrow was suddenly aimed directly at her forehead, she caught it, broke it with a single motion, and her eyes changed into their golden reptilian form.
Vladmir sputtered. Ophelia scowled.
“Why do they continue to aim for my head?” She grit her teeth and questioned.

“Let’s leave right away.” Vladmir said as he quickly descended the steps.
“Alright.” Heaving a sigh, Ophelia pushed through the crowd to catch up
with him.
They quickly moved into the less crowded main city after pushing out of the festival area. Ophelia regarded the sky, which was growing darker. Every second she saw the full moon’s reflection growing brighter.
She sighed and followed Vladmir to a single carriage that was parked in front of a quaint store, but what attracted her eye were Esmeralda and Viktor, who were standing by the side of the carriage and conversing to each other solemnly.

Witches and dragons cooperating? Interesting.” As a gray bow and arrow emerged in each of her hands, Esmeralda chuckled.
A troop of black-clad dragon warriors with luminous reptile-like eyes leapt off the roof and landed on their feet, each brandishing swords. The witches continued to observe silently from the roof, waiting for the ideal

“Oh?!” As they waited for the dragon warriors to attack, Esmeralda gasped, standing back to back with Ophelia. “I heard a news that the ice dragon married a fire mage.”
“What?!” In disbelief, Ophelia cried out.
The dragons started attacking right away. Vladmir leapt to the carriage top to take a seat while Viktor fought the dragons who were headed for Ophelia

Who knows?” While laughing, Ophelia prodded the warrior in the heart
with her sword. As she twisted the sword and extracted it, her face became expressionless.

Esmeralda and Viktor came to a stop, watching Ophelia with great interest, including Vladmir who was sitting on the carriage roof.
Immediately, flames engulfed Ophelia, golden scales formed beneath her eyes, and wings enveloped in a golden glow emerged from her back.
The warriors who were approaching her stopped abruptly, their eyes wide

Ophelia shouted, “Esme!”
“Oh!” Esme hurried up to Viktor, pushing him in the direction of the
carriage. She then extended her arm, which was covered in gray wisps that turned into a huge shield that reached up toward Vladmir.
When Ophelia closed her eyes, golden flames erupted from her body and shot in the direction of the dragons, even the dead ones that were surrounding her. The dragons all wailed as they burned to ashes.
When the glow disappeared, Ophelia relaxed her wings, took a deep breath,
