บท 277: Khione (part one)

Nix stretched his arms slightly, causing Shae to shift slightly, her soft red hair tickling the side of his face. Aki told them to relax for an hour while she prepared the Ashobel, the group was sitting in the booths at the Inn. The Salamander had fallen asleep almost immediately; it was an ability that they had in common. Nix didn't sleep; however, instead, he was looking at their group. There was no telling how strong Neptiphago really was. If she were able to gain even a small portion of her dragon strength, the fight would be horribly short and one-sided.

[Whisper: Raka to Nix] I won both of my Nomad battles, tomorrow I will fight Glacio's son for the leadership of the Clan.

[Whisper: Nix to Raka] I'm concern about the Ashobel. The Heart of Winter has been able to control everyone around it, including Neptiphago.

[Whisper: Raka to Nix] Neptiphago probably loosened one of the bindings as some sort of bargain to try and regain her strength.
