The serpent's body fell to the sea but before its skin can hit the body of the water, it had disappeared and fused into one with the air. Elise watched it happened and saw the rest of the sea snakes falling back in the same manner, returning into ashes.
Elise quickly went to the side of the boat. She saw Ian who fly back to reach the boat. As his feet touched the surface of the boat, a quick embrace had engulfed him. Elise pulled him tightly to her embrace. No words can express how happy she was at the moment that nothing could make her happier.
Her hand felt his back where his wings are, noticing how warm he was not cold as the last time she had touched his body. His complexion was rosy, filled with blood, and his eyes were bright, full of light and life.
"Did you missed me that much?" Ian didn't dislike the hug at all. Like Elise, the hug they shared now was dear to him.
